It would be C, because Ionic bonds have to deal with valence electrons ( the outer shell ones)
The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape is a FALSE statement.
An s orbital is so symmetric, more specifically spherically symmetric that it looks the same from all directions.
- The atomic orbitals in the atoms of elements differ in shape.
In essence, the electrons they describe have varying probability distributions around the nucleus. The spherical symmetry of s orbitals is evident in the fact that all orbitals of a given shell in the hydrogen atom have the same energy.
- All s orbitals are spherically symmetrical. Put simply, an electron that occupies an s orbital can be found with the same probability at any orientation (at a distance) from the nucleus.
The s orbitals are therefore represented by a spherical boundary surface which is a surface which captures a high proportion of the electron density.

Answer:
Hydrofluoric acid.
Explanation:
To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:
1. Acetic acid
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5
pKa = 4.74
2. Benzoic acid
Ka = 6.5x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5
pKa = 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid.
Ka = 6.8x10^-4
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4
pKa = 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid
Ka = 3.0x10^-8
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8
pKa = 7.52
Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.
The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:
Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa
1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74
2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52
From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.
Answer: The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero. For a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion. For example, Cl– has an oxidation state of -1. When present in most compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 and oxygen an oxidation state of −2.
hope this helps........ Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D Explanation:
The diatomic molecule with a triple covalent bond is N2.
Nitrogen has five atoms in its valence shell. In order for it to attain the octet structure, that is, to have eight electrons in its outermost shell, it has to donate three electrons, just like the other element it is reacting with in order to form a triple covalent bond.
