Which type of atom has the strongest attraction for electrons in bond formation? barium (ba) chlorine (cl) iodine (i) strontium (sr)

Chlorine has the strongest attraction for electrons in bond formation.

Explanation:

Chlorine is highly electronegative as compared to iodine and has high electron gain enthalpy. So, it will readily accept an electron in order to complete its octet. The electronegativity decreases down the group from Cl to I, and hence the tendency to gain an electron decreases.

In case of Barium, and Strontium there are completely filled sub shells and therefore the tendency to gain an electron is the least.  

Thus, it can be concluded that chlorine has the strongest attraction for electrons in bond formation.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
