Smaller atoms and stronger bonds promotes greater hardness in minerals.
Answer:
This question appears incomplete
Explanation:
This question appears incomplete because of the absence of options. However, hydrogen is placed in group 1 because it has just one electron in it's outermost shell (which happens to be the only shell it has) just like every other group 1A/group 1 element. While helium is placed in group 8A/group 18 because it has a completely filled outermost shell (which is also the only shell it has) just like every other element in group 8A/group 18.
A force of attraction that holds atom together
<span>When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements. </span>
