Answer:

The correct option is B) One atom of sodium and one atom of fluorine.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion. In this way, the octet rule is fulfilled, which establishes that the atoms of the elements bind each other in the attempt to complete their valence layer, leaving the atom stable with 8 electrons in its last layer.

Given this, the correct option is option B). Sodium is a metal forming the cation and fluorine is a nonmetal, then it will form the anion.

Choose the FALSE statement.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.

Explanation:

The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.

The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.

  • All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
  • The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.
