Please help me Continuing her study of soil, Mara wants to study the composition of some soil samples from two different regions of her state. She places one cup of each sample into a large jar. She slowly adds water until it is near the top. She stirs the water and the soil thoroughly, and then lets the soil sit overnight. She creates this image to record her results.

Compare the ratio of materials in the two soil samples and, based on your knowledge of soil formation, explain how the differences in soils possibly came about.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
