Liquid petrol does not ignite spontaneously when exposed to the air because there is not enough molecules that contains energy to reach the activation energy. As a result, the reaction cannot proceed and a supply of energy should be added for the reaction to occur.
You can use the periodic table to help you determine the charge of an element when it becomes an ion. You base this on the group 8 elements called the noble gases. You can determine the charge by finding the difference of the atomic numbers of the given element to their nearest noble gas. It is made easier for elements on the left side. You can take their charge to be their group number. Since calcium is in group 2A, it will have a charge of 2+. Since Na is in group 1A, it will have a charge of 1+. Since Phosphorus is a nonmetal, it will have a negative charge because it needs to gain electrons to achieve their nearest noble gas. Since the nearest noble gas is Argon having an atomic number of 18, while Phosphorus has an atomic number of 15:
Charge = 15 - 18 = -3
The charge of Phosphorus is -3.

Answer:
A non-polar liquid.
Explanation:
Whether a substance dissolves quickly or not depends on how strongly the molecules (or atoms of an element) of a substance are attracted to one another. These interactions between atoms and/or molecules are called intermolecular forces, or IMFs for short. There are several different ones, and these are distinguished from <em>intra</em>molecular forces which are the bonds holding atoms in the molecule together. Attached is a nice little summary of these forces to consider. Our decision lies within the fact that we must pick the substance that experiences the strongest IMF (the one with the most energy). As it turns out, a dipole in a molecule confers some charge distribution on the molecule which makes slightly positive and negative ends. These can attract each other, and it's called dipole-dipole interactions. It can technically happen in a mixture, but let's assume we're dealing with pure substances. Dipoles can only form in polar compounds however, so a non-polar liquid (which is composed of non-polar molecules), will lack these dipoles and therefore cannot form dipole-dipole interactions between the molecules. This results in only having something called dispersion forces (which really every molecule attraction has - so this is the only one). It is very weak, and since the attraction between these molecules is weak, they will tend to come apart, and evaporate. You can think of the IMFs like glue, and a weak glue will not hold the molecules together well, and they will evaporate away.
On the other hand, polar (from dipole interactions) compounds can have general dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen-bonding interactions (which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction). H-bonding requires a Hydrogen bonded to either a Nitrogen, Oxygen, or Fluorine to do this. The main thing, is the non-polar ones don't have a dipole, and so they can't form a good intermolecular bond and evaporate quickly.
Water can H-bond, which is why it takes so long to dry and for it to evaporate in general. Nail polish, which is really a solution of acetone, has considerably weaker dipole-dipole bonds (compared to H-bonds), and evaporates quicker than water. Hope this helps!
