Answer:
B. The elements that have similar densities and atomic sizes
Explanation:
When, it donates electons.
as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)
it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons
Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.
Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.
and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.
The characteristics of solids that is most responsible for their structure are:
1. BONDING PATTERNS BETWEEN ATOMS.
2. TYPES OF MATTER IN SOLIDS.
Solid state is one of the four states of matter that exist; the other three are liquid, gas and plasma. Solids generally have their constituent particles arranged in a regular pattern, which is known as crystalline structure. The crystalline structure of the solid is due to the types of matter and the chemical bonds that exist between the particles of solids. The constituent particles of a solid can be atoms, ions or molecules.
A catalyst is when a chemical reaction occurs faster than normal.
The system is unaffected during a catalyst because both forward and reverse reactions are affected, meaning that quilibrium will occur faster nothing will change.
