Ionic bonds involve a cation and an anion. The bond is formed when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. Another atom, typically a non-metal, is able to acquire the electron(s) to become a negative ion, or anion.
One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. In this reaction, the sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces.
Answer:
So sorry if I was wrong but I think it's B. Because from the source states,
https://socratic.org/questions/which-group-on-the-periodic-table-is-the-least-reactive-why
"The least reactive elements are those who have a full outermost valence shell ie they have 8 electrons in the outer shell so elements such as helium, neon, radon or the transition elements."
Answer:
So yes! A mixture can contain just elements if those elements are not chemically reactive to one another. Air is a great example of an elemental mixture as it contains nitrogen, oxygen, and argon (along with some other compounds).
Explanation:
hope this helps you :)
B. Heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.
<h3>
What is entropy?</h3>
Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderliness of a system.
Entropy is also the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
S = ΔH/T
where;
- S is entropy
- ΔH is energy input
- T is temperature
Entropy increases in reactions in which the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules.
However, entropy increases as temperature increases. Thus, heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.

Answer:
Na has the most similar configuration.
Explanation:
Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁
Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²
Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²
This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).
