The correct option is STRONTIUM.
Strontium is a group 2 element, that means it has two electrons in its outermost shell. This element will prefer to lose these two electrons in its outermost shell in order to attain the octet form, therefore, it will form electrovalent bond with non metals which it can donate two electrons to.
Most tennis balls are usually hollow, while golf balls are not. Therefore a golf ball contains more mass.

Answer:
e. 3.08 x 10⁻² mol of ions.
Explanation:
- Every 1.0 mole of any compound contains Avogadro's number of molecules (6.022 x 10²³).
- We can get the no. of moles of NiCl₂ using cross multiplication:
1.0 mol NiCl₂ contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.
??? mol NiCl₂ contains → 6.188 x 10²¹ molecules.
∴ The no. of moles of NiCl₂ = (1.0 mol)(6.188 x 10²¹ molecules)/(6.022 x 10²³ molecules) = 1.028 x 10⁻² mol.
- NiCl₂ is ionized according to the equation:
NiCl₂ → Ni²⁺ + 2Cl⁻.
Which means that every 1.0 mol of NiCl₂ is ionized to produce 3.0 moles (1.0 mol of Ni²⁺ and 2 moles of Cl⁻).
<em>∴ The total moles of ions are released</em> = 3 x 1.028 x 10⁻² mol = <em>3.083 x 10⁻² mol of ions.</em>
But nitrogen is inert at room temperature whereas chlorine is highly reactive, the reason is: Nitrogen exists as N triple bond N at room temperature while chlorine exists as Cl single bond Cl at room temperature. Since the bond dissociation energy of triple bond is larger than that of single bond.
