Fr has the greatest tendency to lose an electron. Electronegativity, which is an elements tendency to gain an electron, decreases as you go down a group, meaning that an element’s tendency to lose an electron increases as you go down a group. This means that the element in group 1 with the lowest electronegativity (the element at the bottom of the group), Fr, the element with the greatest tendency to lose an electron.
