'''Electronegativity''': The Pauling scale is the most commonly used system for [[electronegativity]], and most complete electronegativity lists use it. These lists also put francium as the lowest electronegativity with 0.7. However, some of the reported values may be estimated rather than calculated. The Allen scale may be a more complete system, and it places [[caesium]] as the least electronegative element. However, it is difficult to find lists of Allen electronegativity values to confirm this. There seems to be no one source which says all of that, so for now, the Pauling value will remain, unless a better source can be found. |

Electronegativity: The Pauling scale is the most commonly used system for electronegativity, and most complete electronegativity lists use it. These lists also put francium as the lowest electronegativity with 0.7. However, some of the reported values may be estimated rather than calculated. The Allen scale may be a more complete system, and it places caesium as the least electronegative element. However, it is difficult to find lists of Allen electronegativity values to confirm this. There seems to be no one source which says all of that, so for now, the Pauling value will remain, unless a better source can be found.
