Answer:
A
Explanation:
Consider a question you may not have considered before. Suppose you have a mole of sodium in a container that contains nothing that it will react with. A mole of anything is 6.02 * 10^23 (in this case atoms).
Suppose that every one of those atoms has contributed 1 electron to something.
Do you think it would be safe to touch the container knowing that there are 6.02 * 10^23 positive charges all eager to get another electron, because they don’t like repelling each other.
Safe or not? I’ll give you a hint. A lightning bolt does not contain anywhere near 6.02*10^23 charges. No where near.
So — since you never get a shock from just touching anything, There must not be electrons or ions present.
The answer is A
