The answer is (4) Rb. From observation, we can find that these four elements are from first column. The melting point from top to the bottom is from high to low. So the answer is (4).

Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that on moving down a group there will be decrease in melting point of the element because of increase in number of shells.

As a result, outermost electrons move away from the nucleus due to which there will be decrease in force of attraction between the protons and valence electrons. Hence, there will be decrease in melting point.

Therefore, the given elements are of same group and Rb has largest atomic size.

Thus, we can conclude that Rb has the lowest melting point.

Why do farmers spray water over their crops before a frost?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

When water freezes and turns into ice, it releases latent heat. Then, the ice that builds up on the plant will insulate it from the colder surrounding air temperatures. Because of this, some growers choose to spray their crop with water before the freeze occurs.

How would changing the proportions of substance in an alloy change its properties?
sammy [17]
An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals which is produced with a specific proportion between metals. So, if the proportion is changed the physical characteristic would be changed as well. For example, brass musical instruments are made of brass which is a mixture (an alloy) of zinc and copper in a specific proportion. If you change a proportion, you will change the physical characteristic of brass musical instruments, and a sound they produce will be different.
