What statement is MOST accurate about a chlorine ion? A) The chlorine ion is a result of chlorine's relatively low electronegativity. B) The ionic radius of a chlorine ion is larger than the radius of a chlorine atom. C) The atomic radius of a chlorine atom is larger than the radius of a chlorine ion. D) Chlorine ions are created when a chlorine atom loses electrons forming compounds.

The answer to your question is letter B.

Explanation:

Chlorine is a nonmetal whose atomic number is 17. As a nonmetal, it is stable when it gains electrons.

Chlorine is one of the most electronegative elements just below Fluorine and Oxygen.

Chlorine atomic radius' is 99 and its ionic radius is 181.

Considering the previous information we can conclude that the correct answer is letter B.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
