Answer:
a) is correct.......,.....
<h3>
The supplements that are minerals are</h3>
- calcium
- sodium
- iron
- zinc
<u><em> Explanation</em></u>
- calcium and sodium are major minerals which are required by the body for
calcium- needed for muscle,hearing bone and for the support of synthesis and function of cells
sodium- is needed to control blood pressure and also for proper muscle and nerve function
- Zinc and iron are required in trace and both are needed for good health
Leading up to this, calcium gave up 2 valence electrons and thus was denoted as a cation. These 2 electrons were transferred to bromine, which received an overall negative charge because of the addition of 2 valence electrons in its valence shell, and thus formed a negatively charged ion, an anion.
Both formed an ionic bond, due to the electrostatic charge of attraction between the 2 oppositely charged ions. If many ions of Ca and Br are present and numerous ionic bonds have formed it will undergo an arrangement which is that of an ionic lattice, type of structure.
