Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I am guessing P is a noble gas and Q is in group I. Therefore A, B, C and E can be canceled out. S is a transition metal. It is a metal lattice structure. But I guess it could be described as a giant structure, so would you say D is the answer?

Cheers!

Good.
