Which of these elements has the lowest melting point? (1) Li (3) K (2) Na (4) Rb

2 answers:

4 0

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.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Every material in made up of intensive or extensive property. Intensive property of a system does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. But extensive property on the other hand depends on the amount of material present in the system.

Examples of intensive properties include temperature, density, vapor pressure and viscosity.

Assuming that there is some residual liquid left after equilibrium is reached, no matter how much liquid is present, at any given temperature, the vapor pressure will be the same because it is an intensive property.
