Answer:

Take a look at the attachment below

Explanation:

Take a look at the periodic table. As you can see, Rubidium is the closest element to Cesium, and happens to have the closest boiling point to Cesium, with only a difference of about 30 degrees.

Respectively, you would think that fluorine should have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, considering it is the farthest away from the element out of the 4 given. This is not an actual rule, there are no fixed trends of boiling points in the periodic table, there are some but overall the trends vary. However in this case fluorine does have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, a difference of about 1,546.6 degrees.

Hope that helps!

Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale

Valentin [98]

It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.

Give the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by the element. rb

devlian [24]

Actually Rb or Rubidium in zero state has the following electron configuration:

1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p65s1

However we can see that the ion has a 1 positive charge, which means that it lacks 1 electron, therefore the answer from the choices is:

d. rb+: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6
