Answer:
Rubidium and cesium
Explanation:
It is noteworthy to say here that larger cations have more stable superoxides. This goes a long way to show that large cations are stabilized by large cations.
Let us consider the main point of the question. We are told in the question that the reason why potassium reacts with oxygen to form a superoxide is because of its low value of first ionization energy.
The implication of this is that, the other two metals that can be examined to prove this point must have lower first ionization energy than potassium. Potassium has a first ionization energy of 419 KJmol-1, rubidium has a first ionization energy of 403 KJ mol-1 and ceasium has a first ionization energy of 376 KJmol-1.
Hence, if we want to validate the hypothesis that potassium's capacity to form a superoxide compound is related to a low value for the first ionization energy, we must also consider the elements rubidium and cesium whose first ionization energies are lower than that of potassium.
The volume increases when the balloon temperature increases.
<u>Explanation:</u>
-10 F is converted into Kelvin as 249 K.
0°C is nothing but 0+ 273 = 273 K
And the room temperature is 25°C which is converted into Kelvin as 273 + 25 = 298 K.
249 K is below room temperature.
As per the Charles' law volume and temperature are directly proportional to each other, when the pressure of the gas remains constant.
V ∝ T
As the balloon temperature increases, the volume also increases.
A) cesium chloride
B) barium oxide
C) potassium sulfide
D) beryllium chloride
E) hydrogen bromide
F) aluminum fluoride
