First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.
Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.
Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.
As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.
After 25 days, it remains radon 5.9x10^5 atoms.
Half-life is the time required for a quantity (in this example number of radioactive radon) to reduce to half its initial value.
N(Ra) = 5.7×10^7; initial number of radon atoms
t1/2(Ra) = 3.8 days; the half-life of the radon is 3.8 days
n = 25 days / 3.8 days
n = 6.58; number of half-lifes of radon
N1(Ra) = N(Ra) x (1/2)^n
N1(Ra) = 5.7×10^7 x (1/2)^6.58
N1(Ra) = 5.9x10^5; number of radon atoms after 25 days
The half-life is independent of initial concentration (size of the sample).

Answer:
the radius is half the diameter
Carbon discovered in Prehistoric times.. Discoverer will probably never be known
Answer:
1 .
2.
Explanation:
The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.
- The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
- The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
Scandium oxide (
) is an oxide in which
behaves as cation and
behaves as anion.
The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:
1 .
This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation
is smaller than
. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
2.
This is because the charge on the cation
is greater than that of
and also the size of the cation
is smaller than
. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.
