The answer is C, i just took the k-12 test~
Answer:
transmutation, conversion of one chemical element into another. A transmutation entails a change in the structure of atomic nuclei and hence may be induced by a nuclear reaction (q.v.), such as neutron capture, or occur spontaneously by radioactive decay, such as alpha decay and beta decay .
Answer : If we consider the molecule of oxygen gas which in diatomic state, is bonded to other atom which is of same element this is called as homonuclear.
While in HCl there is a heteronuclear bonding observed because there are two different elements getting involved in the bond formation, also it creates a electrovalent species in itself and makes it more polar. They are creating a dipole moment by separating different charges in the molecule which cause it to get tightly bonded with each other.
