D.
2NaBr + CaF2 --> 2NaF + CaBr2 gives you:
2Na 2Na
2Br 2F
1Ca 1Ca
2F 2Br
This is balanced.
We found cesium, strontium, aluminum, sulfur, chlorine, and fluorine on the periodic table. Cesium is the farthest left and the lowest, while fluorine is the farthest right and the highest, so we know they have the highest metallic character and the lowest metallic character, respectively.
The answer to your question is Gallium, or GA. The trick is to always check if they are along the same vertical column. This indicates that they have the same Valence electrons, which is involved in all the bonding and define the electronegative status of the atom.
