As the newest resident on a deserted island, you have been tasked by the business leader, Tom Nook, and the residents of the island to begin recycling. This is a daunting task as Mr. Nook has only already ground up all of the recycled materials and loaded the pile into a single truck. As a student of science, you know that materials need to be separated before they can be properly recycled, so you must separate the four materials into individual piles. Since Mr. Nook already ground them up, you cannot do this by hand.

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.
