Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom that donates an electron to another atom will lead to the formation of a bond known as ionic bond.

For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 with electronic distribution 2, 8, 1. Atomic number of chlorine is 17 with electronic distribution 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to stabilize both sodium and chlorine, sodium will donate its valence electron to the chlorine atom. This will form an ionic bond between sodium and chlorine.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement one of the atoms donates an electron to the other atom, must be true.

Why would a drug that damages capsids help treat a viral infection
zvonat [6]
The capsid is the protein shell that surrounds the core of a virus where its nucleic acid is located. The capsid is made up small sub units called capsomeres. A virus consists of a nucleic acid which may either be RNA or DNA and is found in varying quantities in the virus. It is this nucleic acid that is vital to the virus' survival that is housed in the capsid. A drug that targets the capsid and damages it will cause the nucleic acid to leak out of the virus and into the surrounding while other fluids foreign to the virus will get in rendering the virus totally impaired, and due to this the virus cannot survive but will speedily die.
