Answer:
From the image the answer is 24.
An atom gains an electron from another atom. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
<h3>What is an atom?</h3>
An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.
When an atom shares electrons with another atom then it results in the formation of a covalent bond.
Whereas when an atom transfer electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.
When the nucleus of an atom splits then it represents a nuclear fission reaction and energy is released during this process.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Answer:
The elements become less reactive.
Explanation:
As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction and reactivity increases because of greater electron affinity.
As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased. The electron affinity decreases because of shielding effect and thus atom become less reactive.
The net ionic equation of the reaction could be determined by cancelling out the like ions between both sides of the reaction. These ions are called spectator ions. They are called as such because they do not actively participate in the reaction. The spectator ions are Na+ and Cl-. When you cancel those, the equation would become letter D.
