Based on what you already know about matter, which statement best explains this comparison? A. Atoms can make many different molecules, just like letters can make many different words.
B. Molecules must contain many different atoms, just like words must contain many different letters.
C. There are 26 different atoms that are used to form molecules, just like there are 26 different letters that are used to form words.
D. There are no rules for how letters combine to make words, just like there are no rules for how atoms combine to make molecules.

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.

since electrons are negative the answer is neagtaive
