Answer:
Option A) Na
Explanation:
From the options given above, sodium (Na) is most likely to lose electron to form ion
Na is a group 1 metal. Metals form ions by losing electron(s).
From the options given above, only Na is a metal and so it is most likely to form ion by losing electron
Answer:
If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2.0, then the bond is ionic.
Explanation:
For ex:
Na has the electronegativity of 0.93
Cl has the electronegativity of 3.16
we subtract 3.16-0.93
We have 2.23 electronegativity difference between Na and Cl
because 2.23 > 2.0
therefore NaCl compound has an ionic bond.
