The following is the introduction to a special e-publication called Determining the Age of the Earth (click the link to see a table of contents). Published earlier this year, the collection draws articles from the archives of Scientific American. In the collection, this introduction appears with the title, “Stumbling Toward an Understanding of Geologic Timescales.”

Answer:
A solution is made when one substance called the solute "dissolves" into another substance called the solvent.
Explanation:
once it is broken down"dissolves" from bigger pieces it becomes much smaller groups
Let's go through each of the answers and think about why they work or don't work.
Chemical forms compounds.
Nuclear changes the element completely. We're going to use the sun as an example. The sun is in a state of plasma. It's really hot and has all these particles hitting into each other. The nucleus' of atoms are hitting into each other forming larger elements. It's real crazy. Nuclear is not correct.
Physical cannot form a compound.
Answer:
Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹
Explanation:
Sodium is present in group 1.
It is alkali metal.
It has one valence electron.
The atomic number of sodium is 11.
Its atomic mass is 23 amu.
The longhand notation of electronic configuration of sodium can be written as,
Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹
The electronic configuration in shorthand notation( noble gas) would be written as,
Na₁₁ = [Ne] 3s¹
Sodium loses its one valence electron to complete the octet and get stable thus form +1 cation.
It react with halogen and form salt. Such as sodium chloride.
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
