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.

What is the temdency of an atom to attract electrons called?
The tendency of an atom to attract electrons is called electronegativity. It is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond.
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.
What does electro negativity mean?
Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond. It influences the distribution of charge in a molecule and helps to predict the nature of chemical bonds formed between atoms. Electronegativity tends to increase across a period and decrease down a group in the periodic table.
