(a) which elements are most likely to form ionic compounds? (b) which metallic elements are most likely to form cations with different charges?

A. Generally ionic compounds are formed metal and non metal elements since they forms opposite charged ions due to difference in their Electronegativity values.

NaCl, MgCl2, Ca(OH)2 etc are ionic compounds.

B. Generally transition elements (D elements) forms cations with different charges or simply they exist in different oxidation states due to availability of empty d orbitals.

Examples are Iron exsits as Fe+2 and Fe+3

Mn exists as Mn+2 , Mn+4, Mn+6 ,Mn+7 etc.

specific gravity is the density of a substance divided by the density of water. since (at standard temperature and pressure) water has a density of 1 gram/cm3, and since all of the units cancel, specific gravity is usually very close to the same value as density

so "c" is the answer

plz give brainliest

its going to be mutualism cuz they both benefit from the relationship.
