Decide which element probably has a boiling point most and least similar to the boiling point of cesium.

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.
