Fluorine is the element with the strongest attraction for electrons in a chemical bond, due to its highest electronegativity value of 4.0 on the Pauling scale. This high electronegativity is a result of fluorine's small atomic radius and its position on the periodic table. Therefore, the correct answer is 3. Fluorine .
