F (3.98) > O (3.44) > Cl (3.16) > N (3.04) > Kr (3.00) > Br (2.96) > I (2.66) > Xe (2.6) > S (2.58)

Explanation:

Electronegativity is described as the tendency or ability of an element to attract electron density or bond pair of electrons towards itself. It is a chemical property of an element.

In the periodic table, the least electronegative element is caesium (0.79) and the most electronegative element is fluorine (3.98).

List of 9 most electronegative elements are:

F (3.98) > O (3.44) > Cl (3.16) > N (3.04) > Kr (3.00) > Br (2.96) > I (2.66) > Xe (2.6) > S (2.58).
