Looking at the Periodic Table, draw an imaginary line from the bottom left towards the top right. Electronegativity increases in this direction. Francium (Fr) and Cesium (Cs) have very low electronegativity. Fluorine (F) has extremely high electronegativity. Another way to look at it is electronegativity increasing from left to right and from bottom to top.
Electronegativity corresponds with how strong a pull the nucleus of an atom has on electrons. They attract the bonding electrons of other atoms.
Electronegativity increases from left to right across a period and decreases from top to bottom in a group. According to the Wikipedia article "Electronegativity" the element with the lowest electronegativity is francium at 0.7 on the Linus Pauling Scale.

Francium(Fr) has lowest electronegetivity. It is at the Bottom left corner of periodic table.
The highest electronegativity found in the periodic table is found in fluorine. This is followed by oxygen, chlorine and nitrogen respectively.
Metals are less electronegative than non-metals, and the least electronegative metal is cesium (Cs), so any of the metals down that way will have very low electronegativities.
The last member of I-A group (Alkali metals) the Francium is the least electronegative element.

Nitrogen is least electronegative so it has least attraction.
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
elements that may form a compound, are elements that are different from each other, and they also have to be more than 1 element to combine, and create.
Fluorine
Electronegativity is a characteristic property shared by ALL elements. Non-metals have the greatest (strongest force of electron attraction), and metals have the least (weak force of electron attraction)
Lower left
The metals in the lower left corner of the periodic table are the least electronegative.
Nitrogen is least electronegative so it has least attraction.
The alkali and alkaline earth metals are the least electro negative elements, and the halogens are the most electro negative elements.
fluorine is most electronegative and cesium is least electronegative

Fluorine. It is the most electronegative element.
The most electronegative elements are found in the top right corner of the Periodic Table (excluding inert gases). So they are: Boron - B Carbon - C Nitrogen - N Oxygen - O Fluorine - F Fluorine is the most electronegative element.
