The element situated at the most right hanside is most electronegative.
OpenStudy (abhisar):
*handside.
OpenStudy (abhisar):
Fluorine is in group 17 while carbon is in group 14. Both are in same period. Thus fluorine ismore electronegative.
OpenStudy (asib1214):
the EN of carbon is 2.6 and EN of fluorine is 4.0

Getting my points ?

4 is the highest on the EN chart meaning it has quite a bit of potential to snatch an electron from somebody. i hoe it answers your question.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and the more electronegative atom. Rb versus Br
OpenStudy (asib1214):
hope* lol
OpenStudy (abhisar):
Use the same method i told u to compare !
OpenStudy (abhisar):
Rb will be eectropositive basically, It's an alkali metal. Br will be more electronegative.

Abhisar is right, use the periodic table. Br has a stronger EN than Rb.
OpenStudy (abhisar):
Electronegativity increases as we move towards right !
