The right answer is 2.

The number of protons contained in a nucleus (called an atomic number) is characteristic of a chemical element. For a given atomic number, the number of neutrons defines different "types" of this element: isotopes. The variation of the number of protons of the nucleus of an atom, during a nuclear reaction for example, causes a change of the element studied.

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of an atom means the total number of protons and atom contains. Each atom or element has different number of protons.

For example, atomic number of nitrogen is 7 whereas atomic number of sodium is 11.  

This also means that in a nitrogen atom there are 7 protons and in a sodium atom there are 11 protons.

Thus, we can conclude that the property number of protons in the atomic nucleus is the best one to use for identification of an element.

Answer:

They will create an ionic bond.

Explanation:

The atom with the one valence electron will lose its one, because it's a metal and metals will lose electrons to become stable. The nonmetal (with 7 valence electrons) will gain that electron, therefore creating a stable octet for the nonmetal, making the compound stable.
