Actually Rb or Rubidium in zero state has the following electron configuration:

1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p65s1

However we can see that the ion has a 1 positive charge, which means that it lacks 1 electron, therefore the answer from the choices is:

d. rb+: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6

1b. All metals conduct electricity.

They are all magnetic except magnetic.

and all solid at room temperature except mercury.

1c. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature.

1d. Tungsten is used as filament for light bulbs due to its high melting point and it doesn't oxidize, this the filament won't melt.

1e. The lump of gold will sink because it is more dense than mercury.

write equations to show the chemical processes which occur when the first ionization and the second ionization energies of lithi

diamong [38]

Answer:

First ionization of lithium:

$\text{Li}\;(g)\to \text{Li}^{+} \; (g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Second ionization of lithium:

$\text{Li}^{+}\;(g) \to\text{Li}^{2+} \;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Explanation:

The ionization energy of an element is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom or ion of the element in gaseous state. (Refer to your textbook for a more precise definition.) Some features of the equation:

Start with a gaseous atom (for the first ionization energy only) or a gaseous ion. Write the gaseous state symbol $(g)$ next to any atom or ion in the equation.
The product shall contain one gaseous ion and one electron. The charge on the ion shall be the same as the order of the ionization energy. For the second ionization energy, the ion shall carry a charge of +2.
Charge shall balance on the two sides of the equation.

First Ionization Energy of Li:

The products shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +1 $\text{Li}^{+}\;(g)$ as well as an electron $\text{e}^{-}$ .
Charge shall balance on the two sides. There's no net charge on the product side. Neither shall there be a charge on the reactant side. The only reactant shall be a lithium atom which is both gaseous and neutral: $\text{Li}\;(g)$ .

Hence the equation: $\text{Li}\;(g) \to \text{Li}^{+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Second Ionization Energy of Li:

The product shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +2: $\text{Li}^{2+}\;(g)$ as well as an electron $\text{e}^{-}$ .
Charge shall balance on the two sides. What's the net charge on the product side? That shall also be the charge on the reactant side. What will be the reactant?
