lara [203]
The correct option is B.
Isotopes refers to those chemical compounds which have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons, so they end up having different mass numbers.  The diagram given above is that of beryllium, which has atomic number 4 and it has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. It has four protons [same as the number of electrons] and 5 neutrons. Beryllium 10, which is its isotope has four electrons, four protons and 6 neutrons. To get the number of neutron, remove the number of electrons from the number given in the option, that is, 10 - 4 = 6.

what criteria are likely to dictate certain pairs of elements to undergo ionic bonding and others covalent bonding?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

If one element is a metal and the other element is a non metal

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non metals. The nonmetal atom receives electron(s) from a metal atom to form an ionic substance. This means that ionic substances are basically an ion pair.

Covalent bonds are mostly formed between two nonmetals. These elements share electrons with each other in order to form the compound.
