Answer: B) hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

A) An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element.

B) Hydrogen bonds are special type of dipole dipole forces which are formed when hydrogen bonds with an electronegative element.

DNA strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases on one strand and those on the other. Adenine and thymine have two hydrogen bonds between them while cytosine and guanine have three hydrogen bonds between them.

C) Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

D) A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

It’s B the cu looses its 2 and passes it to the NH3 that needs a bracket to separate them. The NH3 doesn’t loose its 3 because it’s already a compound!

Francium is the most reactive element in Group 1.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Francium is hypothesized to be the most reactive metal, but so little of it exists or can be synthesized, and the longest half-life of its most abundant isotope is 22.00 minutes, so that its reactivity cannot be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. As you go down the group, the number of electron energy levels increases – lithium has two, sodium has three, etc..., as indicated by the period number. The result is that the outermost electron gets further from the nucleus. The attraction from the positive nucleus to the negative electron is less. This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive.

Experimentally speaking, cesium (caesium) is the most reactive metal.
