N the ionic compound aluminum selenide, each atom of aluminum (gains or loses) (number)
electron(s) while each atom of selenium (gains or loses)
(number)
electron(s).

loses, gains

Explanation:

In the ionic compound aluminum selenide, each atom of aluminum will lose electrons while each atom of selenium will gain the electrons.

An ionic compound is an interatomic bond formed between a metal and non-metal. The metal is less electronegative compared to the non-metal. In this case, the metal will lose electrons to become positively charged whereas the non-metal, selenium will gain the electron to become negatively charged.

The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions leads to the formation of the ionic bond.

b. acid is the correct answer @jayxboof all social media

acid : acids are those which accepts an electron-pairs.

base : bases are those which donates ab electron-pairs.

alkali : it is a base that dissolves in water. it is basically a base and the ph greater than 7.

hydroxide ion : it is a poly-atomic ion which is negatively charged.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
