<span>Because it is capable of forming multiple covalent bonds. I hope 15 hours isn't too late to answer your question.

Coal-fired plants put coal through a combustion reaction, in order to generate heat energy. While nuclear plants use principals of fission to generate power.
A combustion reaction does not split an atom, while fission is the process of breaking apart atoms, so we can conclude hat it isn’t #1.
I don’t think humans have even been able to reliably fuse atoms together, thus #2 can not be correct.
Fission is not a chemical reaction, therefore it can’t be #4.
I think both provide heat which then heats water thus turning a turbine that generates electricity. #3 is deductively the correct answer.
Lithium. Electronegativty increases across the periodic table and increases down the periodic table.
Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.
