Obi is trying to determine if a powdery, solid substance is an element or a compound. After recording some observations, he strongly heats a sample of the solid over a burner flame. After fifteen minutes, he turns off the flame and allows the sample to cool. He records his final observations in the data table. A 3-column table with 3 rows. The first column labeled observation has entries appearance, mass (g), chemical reaction with weak acid. The second column labeled original sample has entries white solid, 100.0, bubbles. The third column labeled sample after heating has entries white solid, 56.0, no bubbles.
Which is the best explanation of his results?

The heating changed some of the sample to gas, causing the mass to decrease without breaking down the sample. Therefore, the original sample is a compound.
The appearance stayed the same, showing that the sample was not broken down by heating. Therefore, the original substance is an element.
The mass decreased during heating and some of the impurities escaped. Therefore, the original substance is an element.
The chemical reaction with acid changed, showing that the sample was broken down by heating. Therefore, the original substance is a compound.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

no but i do not usually comment or use my voice that much when it comes to social media
