A. It must be testable in order to be found true or false.
Transition metals
Most transition metals differ from the metals of Groups 1, 2, and 13 in that they are capable of forming more than one cation with different ionic charges. As an example, iron commonly forms two different ions
<span>A cation is an atom that loses a valence electron. When a valence electron is released there is one electron less to create a repulsive force. The loss of a repulsive force will allow the atom to pull tighter together. An anion would therefore be larger in size due to increased repulsion of the valence electrons.</span>
In an ionic bond :
=》B. one atom accepts electrons from another.
in this bond an atom ( <em><u>metallic</u></em> ) loses its electrons and another atom ( <em><u>non- metallic</u></em> ) accepts the electrons, and since there isn't the equal positive and negative charges in the atoms, they forms <em><u>cations</u></em> ( +ve charge ) and <em><u>anions </u></em>( -ve charge )
and get stacked or <em><u>attracted</u></em> to each other by strong <em><u>electrostatic force</u></em>.
