That question technically is unsolveable because of the possible transitions between atoms. But, flourine is the most likely.

Answer:

Fluorine

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many variables that can affect the strenght of attraction of the electrons in a chemical bond.

The most significant of them is the electronegativity: a meassure of the affinity an element has with the electrons . The higher the electronegativity, the stronger the attraction with electrons.

The element with the highest electronegativity is Fluorine (F), been followed by Oxygen (O)
