What is the arrangement of the modern periodic table based upon

The modern table is a list of elements based on the number of protons in the nucleus.

Explanation:

That’s the positive charge of the nucleus. Then it is organised into rows and columns based on repeating patterns of chemical similarity within that series, other words “periodicity”. That is why it is called the periodic table.

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)

the answer is either b or c
