Electronegativity is, to some extent, a subjective value (though based on a composite of actually measurable physical properties). The highest electronegativity is usually assigned to fluorine. The electron configuration of fluorine's outermost shell is 2s2 2p5.

What is the most electronegative element and why?

Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element because it has 5 electrons in it's 2p subshell. The optimal electron configuration of the 2p subshell has 6 electrons. Since F is close to this optimal configuration, electrons are highly attracted to the nucleus.
