Answer:
Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.
Explanation:
Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable
Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.
Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.
While
Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.
Covalent bond involves sharing.
Proton 26
neutron 0
you can tell how many proton by the atomic number
Answer:
answer A has four valence electrons
Explanation:
The outer shell has 4 electrons, which are considered the valence electrons
Explanation:
Non-metals are the species that are electron deficient and they are able to accept one or more electrons from a donor atom in order to complete their octet.
For example, carbon (C), nitrogen (N), chlorine, (Cl), phosphorus (P) etc are all non-metals.
Metals are the species that contain more number of electrons in their valence shell and in order to attain stability they easily lose an electron.
For example, sodium (Na), lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Magnesium (Mg) etc are all metals.
Metalloids are the species that show properties of both metals and non-metals.
For example, Boron (B), Antimony (Sb), Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge) etc are metalloids.
