Which of the following is defined as the mass of an atom based on the mass of an atom of carbon-12? ? a. isotope b. atomic mass c. atomic charge d. atomic number

The B. atomic mass of an atom is based on the mass of an atom of carbon-12.

The ionic charge depends on the number of electrons.

The atomic number depends on the number of protons.

Isotopes depend on the number of neutrons.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
