Vocaloid · Answer

electronegativity = an atom's ability to attract electrons toward itself
> Fluorine only needs 1 electron to complete its outer shell 
> Fluorine has a small atomic radius so it keeps its electrons closer to the nucleus
> it has a low outer energy level so it doesn't have the shielding effect than other elements in its group do
