**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Electronegativity:** - Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The higher the electronegativity, the stronger the atom's ability to attract electrons. 2. **Identifying the Elements:** - In the periodic table, the two most electronegative elements are fluorine (F) and oxygen (O). ...
