In what ways is a model similar to the thing it represents? A. A model must be identical to the thing it represents in every way.
B. model can be different from the thing it represents in either its size or the materials it is made of.
C. A model must be identical to the thing it represents in every way except that it can be made out of different materials.
D. A model must be identical to the thing it represents in every way except that it can be a different size.

A

Explanation: A model has to be identical to the thing it represents in every way, or people may think something is different than it actually is, because they see it in the model. The answer to the question is A.

hi,

the capital city of australia is canberra.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
