Which of these are nucleons? Choose all that apply

Chlorine has an atomic mass of 35.5. This is because:
It has half a neutron extra in its nucleus.
We take the weighted average of the naturally occuring isotopes of chlorine in nature and arrive at the notional A (mass no.)
Chlorine has an atomic mass of 35, not 35.5. This is on account of one extra neutron in the nucleus.
Why do ionic bonds have high melting and boiling points?
Ionic bonds are held together by large electrostatic forces of attraction. Marge amounts of heat energy is needed to break down these bonds.
In the solid state, the ions are fixed at their lattice points and cannot move.
Since water is a polar covalent compound, it reduces the electrostatic forces of attraction.
Covalent bonds happen only between non metals. This is because:
Non metals have a valency of 4 and above and are not in a position to donate electrons. So, they must share
Metals are too arrogant and sure of themselves to share.
Non Metals have soft electrostatic bonds making it easier to share valence electrons.
Which of the following describes covalent bonds?
Bonds form because of opposite charges
electrons are shared to fill outer electron shells
Electrons are transferred between atoms
Covalent bonds are magical
For representative elements (Groups 1A - 8A), the number of valence electrons is equal to
the group number
the period number
the atomic number
the group number minus 10
For metals (groups 1-3), its easier to _____ electrons to have a full outer shell.
gain
lose
share
For nonmetals (grousp 5-7), its easier to _____ electrons to have a full outer shell.
gain
lose
share
