Answer: 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.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

C.ratio of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that constitutes two or more elements in a defined proportion. A chemical compound is different from another compound in what it contains i.e. elements. A chemical formula shows the elements contained in a specific compound. For example, the chemical formula of sodium chloride (NaCl) shows us that it contains Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) elements as represented by symbols.

In addition to this, a chemical formula also shows the ratio of each element that makes up the compound. An element can have more than one atom in a compound. For example, CaCl2 is the chemical formula for Calcium chloride and it shows is that the ratio of Calcium (Ca) to Chlorine (Cl) is 1:2.
