Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Is it likely that any of the rocks that were on Earth's surface when it first formed are still in existence?
A.
No, rock material is constantly recycled on Earth's surface through the rock cycle.
B.
No, most of Earth's magma did not solidify until 1 billion years ago.
C.
Yes, Earth's surface has changed very little since Earth was first formed.
D.
Yes, rocks are very hard and should be able to survive for 4.5 billion years.

the answer is the

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.
