FLourine is the most electronegative element so it likes to grab the electrons from other elements when it is in compounds. If you are comparing two different elements the periodic trend for strong electrnegativity tends to go to the right and up. The trend for the weakest electronegativity goes to the left and down on the periodic table so you could say that Francium is the least electronegative.

How much an element attracts electrons is called what?

Electronegativity


The more electronegative an element the more what?

Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property that describes the ability of an atom (or, more rarely, a functional group) to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself in a covalent bond. An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic weight and the distance that its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus. Generally, the more electronegative an element, the greater the ability to attract electrons.A. It attracts electrons incvolved in a bondit attracts electrons

What is the number of valence electrons (number in the outer most energy level)?

The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present

Can a fluorine atom ever form a non polar covalent bond?

No, fluorine always forms polar covalent bonds because it is the most electronegative element, meaning it strongly attracts electrons towards itself in a bond.

What part of an atom is involved the most in bonding?

Electrons are the most important element in atom bonding. Each element has an atomic number based on the number of electrons, and it is the was these different numbers of electrons link up to each other that determines how closely they will bond.
