Answer:
Carbon and phosphorus
Explanation:
The atoms of carbon and phosphorus are most likely to gain electrons from the given choices .
The reason for this is because, both carbon and phosphorus are non-metals. Most non-metals usually accept electrons.
Metals are usually electron donors .
- Metals are known for their electropositivity which is their ability to lose electrons.
- Non-metals are electronegative and will tend to have a strong affinity for electrons.
A dilute acid solution is prepared by adding the concentrated acid to water. If you do the reverse, i.e. add water to the acid it is possible that a small amount water could react with acid and boil and explode thus splashing the acid onto you or someone else near the activity.
Electronegativity of the two atoms is your answer
