Chemistry

Order the following species from the one which binds lead (II)ions least strongly to the one which (at this pH) binds them moststrongly and leaves the smallest equilibrium concentration of leadions in solution: chloride ion, chromate ion, EDTA ion, watermolecule. Please explain the logic behind the order in which thesewere placed. I initially went by solubility but it does not seem toquite fit what the question is asking. Thanks in advance.
