The strength of an atom's attraction for the electrons in a chemical bond is the atom's?

Yes. An element that is highly electronegative pulls more on the electrons in a bond, such as oxygen in H20. This creates a polar bond, where there is a small negative charge on the oxygen, and a small positive charge in between the hydrogens.
