Explain why atoms would gain or lose electrons in order to resemble the elements in the particular group you named above. Consider what you learned about elements in that group.

Answer

Explanation:

the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an element is represented in the periodic table as the group number that element is situated in. ... the number of electrons in all shells of an element is represented in the periodic table as the element's atomic number.

h let me think

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.
