Answer:
1)A period in the periodic table is a horizontal row. All elements in a row have the same number of electron shells. ... Periods are horizontal rows (across) the periodic table, while groups are vertical columns (down) the table. Atomic number increases both as you move down a group or across a period.
2)D)Na has one fewer valence electron than Ca.
when an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes an ion. Ions formed by the loss of an electron have a positive charge, and those formed by gaining an electron have a negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.

Explanation: that is .....
Answer:
KCl
Explanation:
Look at the electronegativity differences between the pairs of elements:
KCl: 3.16 - 0.82 = 2.34
BeCl: 3.16 - 1.57 = 1.59
LiCl: 3.16 - 0.98 = 2.18
ClO: 3.44 - 3.16 = 0.28
KCl has the highest electronegativity difference; thus it is the most ionic bond of the 4.
