Answer:

Fluorine

Step-by-step explanation:

Fluorine is assigned the oxidation number of -1 because it attracts the electrons in the bond more strongly than carbon does. Fluorine appears to have an extra electron, -1 oxidation number.

Fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table.
