The concept we are looking for here is electronegativity. This concept is a measure of how strong an atom or element can attract a pair, that is bonding, of electrons to itself.
Fluorine is the element or atom of the greatest electronegativity. Electronegativity would increase as we move left to right of the periodic table.
<span>In a sample of solid Ba(NO3)2 the ratio of barium ions to nitrate ions is would be one is to 2 or 1:2. Barium ion has a formal charge of positive two which means that it needs two ions which has a formal charge of negative one or 1 ion with the formal charge of negative two. However, for this case, it is bonded to a nitrate ion which has a formal charge of negative one. Therefore, it needs two nitrate ions so that for every 1 atom of barium ion, we need two ions of nitrate ions.</span>
Answer: B) calcium nitrate
True, if you would like an example look at Indian arrow heads or early architecture all use rocks.
