The ability of an atom to attract electrons is its electronegativity. Elements that easily form negatively charged ions, such as fluorine and oxygen, have a high electronegativity. Generally speaking, the top right corner of the periodic table is home to the most electronegative elements, while the bottom left is the least electronegative.
