Only 1 answer correct?

i think more than one

anonymous · Answer

Just giving it a shot, crystal structure and valence sounds correct

anonymous · Answer

just crystal structure and valence ?

anonymous · Answer

Electronegativity might, considering very electronegative elements wants very electropositive

think of the question this way if you have a beaker full of water (H2O) and you pour table salt (NaCl) into the beaker, what are the factors that gonna break the salt and why? 
this may help eliminate valence, atomic size, atomic number. so here you go
