The electrongavitivity of an atom indicates an element is a part of electrons. The more electronegativity you have the more electrons you will need.

electronegativity
The term which means the amount that a given atom (or radical) attracts electrons is electronegativity.

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the electrons of a covalent bond towards it.

Linus Pauling defined electronegativity as "the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself."
electronegativity
Just simply put, how strongly it attracks electrons. An electron " hog " such as oxygen has an electronegativity number of 3.5 while hydrogen is at about 2.2 on the electronegativity scale.
electronegativity
which atom in a water molecule has the greatest electronegativity?
Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract towards it the electron pair of a covalent bond. An atom with low electronegativity is poor at doing this. For instance, the electronegativity of bromine is less than that of chlorine.
One atom is a metal and one is a nonmetal One atom has a high electronegativity value, while the other value is relatively low.
