Step1: Recall electronegativity trend
Electronegativity increases across a period and up a group. The top - right elements (excluding noble gases) have high electronegativity. Fluorine (F) is in Group 7A (halogens), period 2. It is the most electronegative element.
Step2: Recall reactive metals trend
For metals, reactivity increases down a group and to the left of the periodic table. Alkali metals (Group 1A) are the most reactive metals as they have 1 valence electron and easily lose it to form cations.
