Electo negativity is The ability of an atom to inductively pull electrons towards itself. The more electronegative an atom, the tighter it pulls the electrons. Commonly measured on the Pauling scale, the higher the electronegativity, the more strongly an atom attracts electrons. Note electronegativity is a characteristic property of a given atom.

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. Electronegativity increases to the right and up on the periodic table.
Flourine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table.
The more electronegative an element is - the more reactive it is - or more likely to form a bond.

first of all it's electronegativity. it really is one word. it's the ability of an atom to hold onto it's electrons, and grab from others. Fl is the most electronegative with electronegativity of 4.
