When drawing Lewis structures, does the radical go on the most or least electronegative atom? What is more important in determining which atom it goes on, formal charge or electronegativity?

Re: Radicals
The radical would probably go on the least electronegative, as the other atom, the more electronegative one, attracts more electron pairs.
