Na is sodium is a metal and loses 1 e-
O The cation will use a type Ii naming system
O Na is neutral, loses 1 e- and then becomes a positive charged ion Na+

D. The cation will use a type II naming system

Explanation:

As the element becomes stable, Option D is NOT taking place. That means that as the element becomes stable, the cation will NOT use a type II naming system. This is because in Type II binary compounds, the metal is not found in either Group 1 or Group 2 on the periodic table. It is as a result of this that the cation will not use a type II naming system.

Group 1 and Group 2 elements make use of type I naming system because in Type I binary compounds, the metal is present.

Option D is the correct answer.

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.
