Francium. It's outer shell is far enough away from the nucleus with its opposite, repelling positive charge which makes it difficult to exchange electrons. And its outer shell is incomplete.
To put it another way, of all the atoms that are missing an electron from their outer energy level, Francium is the one that has the least influence from the nucleus because its outer energy shell is the furthest away from the centre, so it is happiest to receive electrons.

In a covalent bond if there is a difference of electronegativity between the atoms then the shared electrons are "attracted" to the most electronegative element.

What does electro negativity mean?
Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.
What is the ability to attract electrons from another atom called?
electronegativity
What does the electronegative of an atom indicate?
the tendency of the atom to pull on electrons Apex : )
What does the electronegavity of an atom indicate?
Electronegativity of an element refers to its power to attract electrons towards itself. Halogens are most electronegative elements in which fluorine has the highest electronegativity value.
How many additional electrons is an oxygen atom able to attract?
oxygen is able to attract 2 electrons
The tendency of an atom in a compound to attract electrons?
Electronegativity is the relative tendency of atoms to attract electrons in bond. The electronegativity is affected by both the atomic number and the distance from the core of the valence electrons.
What is the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons in a bond?
This is called electronegativity.
What does the electronegativty of an atom indicate?
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract the electrons of a covalent bond towards it.
When an electrons moves from a lower to a higher energy level the electrons?
electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair electrons
Which element has an atom with greatest tendency to attract electrons in a chemical bond?
Chlorine has the highest electron affinity or the greatest tendency to attract a shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond.
What Is the tendency of atoms to attract the valence electrons of another atom?
This property is technically known as electronegativity.
What is eletroegativity?
Electronegativity : is said to be the tendency of an atom that attract a pair of electrons that is shared with other atoms.
Is it true that electronegativity is the ability of an anion to attract another anion?
Partially, electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons, there by becoming an anion.
What scientist devised a scale of numerical values reflecting the tendency of an atom to attract electrons?
Linus Pauling.
What does electronegative and electropositive mean?
Electronegativity is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract electrons.An atom with a higher electronegativity number will attract more electrons towards it.Electropositivity is the opposite - so an atoms ability to donate electrons and form positive (or partially positive) ions.
What does electro negativity mean?
Electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.
Fluorine has a higher electronegativity than Lithium What does this actually mean?
electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, therefore fluorine is more able to attract electrons then lithium (has a greater pull).
