The element with the lowest electronegativity would be:
an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius.
Elements with a small number of valence electrons (like the alkali metals) and a large atomic radius tend to have lower electronegativity because they hold onto their valence electrons less tightly, making it less likely for them to attract electrons from other atoms.
