Beth has two unlabeled balloons, one filled with hydrogen gas and the second filled with neon gas. She researches and writes down the density of hydrogen and neon. Beth also has several chambers filled with various gases and a poster showing the densities of these gases. She has no other materials or tools available to her to help her identify the element in each balloon. The poster and Beth’s data are shown. Select the gas from the poster that Beth should use in an experiment to identify the element in each balloon. Explain your answer.

Aargon is NOT the answer.

Explanation:

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.
