Solution

Answer
Fluorine...
Explanation :
Fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table with a whopping electronegativity of 3.98. That makes it extremely reactive, and fluorine will react with almost any compound/element, if not all elements to form compounds and other complex molecules.
For example, there have been organic platinum-fluorine compounds that are synthesized to be in use for medicines.
