SOMEONE PLEASE HELP:/!

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite charges attract therefore the electrons of one atom would be attracted by the nucleus (which contains protons). This heavily relies on a property called electronegativity. Which deals with the level of attraction a nucleus (the protons in the nucleus) have for electrons of other atoms.
