Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons to it, and, by the octet rule, strive to reach noble gas electron configuration. The most electronegative atom is Fluorine, for several reasons- It has the smallest radius, and it only needs to attract one electron to complete its valance shell.

What is the smallest element that maintains the properties of an element?
The smallest element on the Periodic Table is Hydrogen. It has only 1 electron in 1 electron shell and 1 proton in it's nucleus.
Period 4 element with smallest atomic radius?
It is krypton as it the far most right on the periodic table, having the smallest radius
Which element in period 5 of the periodic table has the greatest number of protons?
This element is the noble gas xenon (Xe) with 54 protons.
This element has the smallest atoms of all the elements?
Hydrogen has the smallest atoms of any element, as it has only 1 electron in 1 electron shell and 1 proton. This is why it's first on the Periodic Table.
Where in the periodic table is the smallest anionic radius found?
The smallest element is hydrogen (atomic number = 1). When one electron is added to hydrogen, hydride ion is formed and this is the anion with smallest ionic radius.
Which element is smallest Excluding H and He element in the periodic table?
Lithium is the smallest element in the periodic table if Hydrogen and Helium are excluded.
Why is it that fluorine is the smallest element in the periodic table?
The smallest atom in the periodic table is hydrogen, not fluorine.
Which is the smallest element in the periodic table?
Hydrogen has the smallest atomic size of any element.
What element is the smallest on a periodic table?
Hydrogen
Which element in the periodic table has the smallest ionization enegry?
francium
What is the smallest element that maintains the properties of an element?
The smallest element on the Periodic Table is Hydrogen. It has only 1 electron in 1 electron shell and 1 proton in it's nucleus.
What element on the periodic table has the greatest metallic properties?
iron
Which element of the periodic table has the greatest electrogavinity?
Fluorine(F)
Smallest element in the periodic table?
Hydrogen (H) - with a single proton and electron.
What element on the periodic table has the smallest radius carbon or nitrogen?
Nitrogen
Which is the least in the periodic table of the elements?
Hydrogen is the first, smallest, and lightest element. It is number 1 in the periodic table of elements.
Out of sodium potassium rubidium and cesium Which element has the greatest ionization energy?
Sodium has the greatest ionization energy of the four elements listed from column 1 of a wide form periodic table. Among this group of metals that readily form cations, the largest always has the lowest ionization energy and the smallest has the most. This is generally ascribed to the fact that the valence shell electron is further from the nucleus in the largest element and nearest in the smallest element.
