B) some planets revolve backwards
Answer:
Metallic bonding may be described as the sharing of free electrons among a lattice of positively charged metal ions. The structure of metallic bonds is very different from that of covalent and ionic bonds. ... In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize.
As a trend or pattern, the atomic radius decreases as you go left to right across the period, but increases as you go down a particular group.
When nitrogen and aluminum form an ionic bond, the formula of the ionic compound is AlN.
Aluminum forms a cation Al⁺³ and nitrogen forms an anion N⁻³. When each cation of Al⁺³ combines with an anion of N⁻³, AlN or aluminum nitride is formed. In AlN a strong electrostatic force of attraction exists between the oppositely charged Al⁺³ and N⁻³ ions.
