An atom gains an electron from another atom. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
<h3>What is an atom?</h3>
An atom is a particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element. An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.
When an atom shares electrons with another atom then it results in the formation of a covalent bond.
Whereas when an atom transfer electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.
When the nucleus of an atom splits then it represents a nuclear fission reaction and energy is released during this process.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown
of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from
the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does
not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>
Answer:
- <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.
Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.
When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).
Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.
