anonymous · Answer

Ions are formed by 'adding electrons to' or 'removing electrons from' a neutral atom
so A is false

anonymous · Answer

for B
In matters the atoms are bonded to each other forming a solid network, and the strength of those bonds is what prevents solid from moving.so they are compact.
But On microscopic and atomic scales, there is lot of empty space in solids that no way to get a human being through in it! so B is right
