Answer:
The electrons are lost from the valence shell (outermost electron shell) of the atom.
Explanation:
This is able to be inferred not only because valence electrons being lost first is a trend but also because the atom in question has actually 3 valence electrons (13-2-8 = 3).
ANSWER : 108 + 10 = 118
118 + ( 5 + 3 )
118 + 8 = <u>1</u><u>2</u><u>6</u>

Answer:
C. involve the attraction of opposite charges
Explanation:
<em>Ionic bonding</em> involves the attraction between <em>oppositely charged ions</em>, as in Na⁺ Cl⁻.
<em>Covalent bonding</em> involves the attraction between <em>negatively charged electrons and positivey charged nuclei</em>, as in a C-H bond.
A is <em>wrong</em>. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
B is <em>wrong</em>. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
D is <em>wrong</em>. Ionic bonds are usually stronger than covalent bonds.
