Answer is: Cl and Na.

sodium and chlorine are in third period and they have very different properties. Sodium is solid metal and chlorine is gaseous nonmetal.

They form compound NaCl (Sodium chloride), because sodium lost one valence electron and form cation Na⁺, chlorine gain one electron and form anion Cl⁻.

Electron configuration of sodium atom: ₁₁Na 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹.

Electron configuration of chlorine atom: ₁₇Cl 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.

Other examples are metal-metal pairs and they do not form cation and anion.

Which of the following is true? Covalent bonds are strong intermolecular forces. Covalent bonds are weak intramolecular forces.
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

They are strong intermolecular forces

Explanation:

Covalent forces are very strong intermolecular forces. In fact, we can say they are the strongest. This is because several big and giant molecules have covalent bonds holding their molecules together. A good example of this is the buckministerfullerence molecule which contains carbon atom to the order of 60 carbon atoms. It is a very giant molecule and it is covalent bond that is holding the molecules together

The strongest substance in the world is diamond. It is so strong that no other substance can cut it asides another diamond. As strong as it is, the molecule is held together by very strong intermolecular forces of covalent bonds which confers the strength it has on it

The idea that light can act like packets led to what new field on science?
Elenna [48]

Light acting as 'packets' of exact amounts of energy (a particle-like quality) called quanta led to the development of quantum mechanics. Light also has wave qualities (wavelength, frequency, amplitude) which is referred to as particle-wave duality.
