Based on the electron configuration of the two atoms, predict the ratio of metal cationic (+) atom
to nonmetal anionic (-) atom in the compound.

Magnesium 1s22s22p63s2
Sulfur 1s22s22p3s23p4

A. 1:1

B. 1:2

C. 2:1

D. 3:1

- both b and d.

-since b and d are the closest coastlines then that makes it the most affected.

< 3

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
