Answer:

O Bromine

Step-by-step explanation:

The element that will attract electrons in a chemical bond is Bromine.

An element that attracts electrons in chemical bonds is said to be an electronegative element.

Such an element have a relative tendency to attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

  • The most electronegative group on the periodic table is that of the halogens.
  • Halogens are a special class of electronegative elements.
  • They need just one electron to complete their octet, hence the reason for their electronegativity.
  • Metals are electropositive and are not ready to attract electrons. They prefer reactions where they can lose electrons.
