D.electron
The part of the atom involved in a chemical reaction is the electron cloud. The electron cloud is the part of the atom surrounding the nucleus.
Sodium chloride has the highest melting point while iodine has the least melting point.
The melting points of solid substances depends on the nature of intermolecular forces that exists in the substance. The stronger the magnitude of intermolecular forces in a substance, the higher its melting point.
The order of melting points of the solids shown in question is as follows;
- 1st - Sodium chloride
- 2nd - sucrose
- 3rd - paraffin
- 4th - Iodine
Sodium chloride has the highest melting points because it is an ionic substance. Among the molecular sucrose and paraffin, sucrose has a higher melting point than sucrose because it has a greater molar mass. Iodine, a molecular substance has the least molar mass and the least melting point in the list.

Answer:
C
Explanation:
looking at a periodic table X is fluorine and Y is potassium
Fluorine is in group 7 and forms a 1- charge (which gains electrons) and potassium is in group 1 and forms a 1+ charge (which loses electrons)
Fluorine (X) has an electronic structure of 2,7 and needs to gain an electron from Potassium (Y) to have a full outer shell and potassium has an electronic structure of 2,8,8,1 so needs to lose an electron to have a full outer shell as well. This means that the electron that potassium (Y) has lost is given away to fluorine (X), so both elements become stable.
This is known as ionic bonding where metals (like potassium) lose electrons and non-metals (like fluorine) gain electrons to become more stable, forming ions

Answer:
6.02*10^23
Explanation:
This is the number for one mole. Just like one dozen = 12, one mole = 6.02*10^23.
Fun fact, if you had a mole of pennies you could spend 1 million dollars every second of your life and not have even spent 1% of it by the time you die at 100 years old.
