Answer:

phosphorus - least similar to barium

beryllium - most similar to barium

Explanation:

The formula of the chloride formed between barium and chlorine is BaCl2.

Barium is a metallic element and has the valency of +2. Beryllium is also a group two metal with a valency of +2. Hence the compound formed between beryllium and chlorine is BeCl2

Phosphorus is a nonmetal and forms a completely different chloride from BaCl2. The chloride of phosphorus is PCl5 and PCl3. These are least similar to BaCl2

Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.

Explanation:

Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.

Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.

So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.
