Answer 1

b

Step-by-step explanation:

i took the test

Answer 2

B) The ionic charge of the elements changes from positive to negative

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case when there is a moving towards downward direction from fluorine to chlorine on the periodic table so this represent that there are an ionic elements charge varies i.e. from positive to negative

Therefore as per the given situation the option b is correct

And, the rest of the options are wrong
