The answer to this question would be A. Energy is released.
When a chemical bond is a form, the bond will either suck up energy or produce energy. So, to be precise the energy is not always released but also can be absorbed. In this case, the energy released number will be a minus.
Options B and C is definitely wrong since the bond is formed by an electron, it won't affects neutron/proton.
Option D might be true since the product is made of 2 or more atoms then it would seem larger. But the size of the actual atom won't be increased.
An atom hopefully this helps
<u>Answer:</u> The conjugate acid of 
is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory:
- An acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base.
- A base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.
To form a conjugate acid of , this compound will accept one proton to form
The chemical equation for the formation of conjugate acid follows:
The conjugate acid formed is named as carbonic acid.
Hence, the conjugate acid of is
Ionic bonds form between two elements that have a very large difference in electronegativity ie. a metal and a non-metal. The electronegative element will want an electron to make it stable whilst the less electronegative element wants to donate an electron to make it stable. Therefore the metallic element donates a electron to the non-metal and both become ions, which attract each other. Eg. Na becomes Na+ and Cl becomes Cl-, the opposite charges attract, forming the bond.
