Answer: The metal is held together by the strong forces of attraction between the positive nuclei and the delocalized electrons (The Electron Sea Model.
Explanation: I hope that helped!
Five valence electrons for one nitrogen and 10 valence electrons for two nitrogens
An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.
In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.
Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻
Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
The element that is most reactive to gas is Hydrogen
