5 0

Answer:

Cl is more likely to than Na

Explanation:

The question asks for the element more take up an electron from the other

The ability of an atom to take take or give electrons in a chemical reaction, depends on its electron affinity and ionization energy, respectively

Chlorine, Cl, has the highest electron affinity in the periodic table which makes it attract electrons more towards itself

Sodium, Na, has a low ionization energy (about 2/5 of that of chlorine) than chlorine, Cl, making sodium more readily able to give its valence electron in a reaction

Therefore, Cl is more likely to take up an outer electron from Na.

<span>The first method to determine the chemical composition of a substance in space was using light. By determining red shift in the observed spectrum of light they could determine the elements they were observing. Different elements change the way light behaves and from this scientists can determine the makeup of things such as stars and nebulas.</span>
