<h3>Answer:</h3>

           Strontium (Sr)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        The condition given in statement is the presence of two valence electron. Hence, first we found the electronic configuration of given atoms as follow;

                       Rubidium                         [Kr] 5s¹

                      Strontium                        [Kr] 5s²

                       Zirconium                         [Kr] 4d² 5s²

                      Silver                                 [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s¹

From above configurations it is cleared that only Strontium and Zirconium has two electrons in its valence shell.

We also know that s-block elements are more reactive than transition elements due to less shielding effect in transition elements hence, making it difficult for transition metals to loose electrons as compared to s-block elements. Therefore, we can conclude that Strontium present in s-block with two valence electrons is the correct answer.

Does the identity of gas matter when predicting its behavior why or why not?
just olya [345]

Answer: The gas phase is unique among the three states of matter in that there are some simple models we can use to predict the physical behavior of all gases—independent of their identities. We cannot do this for the solid and liquid states. ... Gas particles do not experience any force of attraction or repulsion with each other.

Verizon [17]
The answer should be hydrogen bonding. Water only has oxygen and hydrogen in it, which are both nonmetals, so you know the answer cannot be metallic or ionic. It also cannot be nonpolar because the electronegativity of the oxygens will make the molecule polar. You can also know it is hydrogen bonding because it can only take place when a hydrogen is attached to an oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen. These bonds are very strong attractions, so the molecules are extremely hard to pull apart, creating a high boiling point. Hope that helps!
