Here’s a simplified explanation.
The <em>protons</em> in the nucleus <em>repel each other</em>. The <em>neutrons provide the “glue”</em> that holds the nucleus together and prevents it from flying apart.
The “glue” is the strong nuclear force. It is strong but extremely short range. It falls off extremely rapidly as the p-n distance increases.
A <em>neon atom</em> has 10 protons. There are three stable isotopes, with 10, 11, and 12 neutrons.
With fewer than 10 protons, the glue is not strong enough to hold the nucleus together.
If there are more than 12 neutrons, the average p-n distance is great enough that the glue has again become too weak.
<em>Gold</em> has one stable isotope. It contains 79 protons and 118 neutrons.
If there are fewer than 118 neutrons, the proton repulsions will be too strong for the strong force. If there are more than 118 neutrons, the average p-n distance will be large enough that the glue will again be too weak to hold the nucleus toge

I’m not a 100% shure but I would personally say OIL SPILLS.
The classic case of ionic bonding, the sodium chloride molecule forms by the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting ions. An atom of sodium has one 3s electron outside a closed shell, and it takes only 5.14 electron volts of energy to remove that electron.
Answer:
it gives up electrons B. because the bond between the electrons is not very strong due to how few of them there are
