Answer:
This question is incomplete but the completed question is below
The table shows the total number of electrons in Atom A and Atom B. Number of Electrons A= 11 B= 17
Which statement is correct?
A. A will give up electrons to form bonds.
B. B will give up electrons to form bonds.
C. Both A and B will be chemically unreactive.
D. Both A and B will gain electrons to become stable.
The correct option is A
Explanation:
The atom A has 11 electrons which means it would have 1 valence electron in it's outermost shell while atom B has 17 electrons which means that it would have 7 electrons in it's outermost shell. Atom A would transfer (or give up) it's single valence electron to atom B so that they can both achieve there octet configuration (as seen in the attachment below). This type of bonding (that involves the transfer of electrons) is called ionic or electrovalent bonding.
From the above explanation, it can be deduced that the correct option is A
