Understand the concept of electronegativity: Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The higher the electronegativity, the greater the atom's ability to attract electrons.

Identify the electronegativity values: Use a periodic table or a chart of electronegativity values to find the electronegativity of each element in the pairs given. For example, Fluorine (F) has one of the highest electronegativity values.

Calculate the difference in electronegativity for each pair: Subtract the smaller electronegativity value from the larger one for each pair of elements. For example, if the electronegativity of K is 0.82 and F is 3.98, calculate the difference as 3.98 - 0.82.

Compare the differences: Once you have the differences for each pair, compare them to determine which pair has the greatest difference in electronegativity.

Conclude with the pair having the greatest difference: The pair with the largest difference in electronegativity is the one where the difference is the greatest, which in this case is K and F.
