Answer:

Decreasing order of melting point:

SrS > SrCl_2 > RbCl > CsBr

Explanation:

Born–Landé equation explained the relation between lattice energy, charges and sizes of ions present in a compound.

U=-k\frac{Q_1Q_2}{r_0}

Here, U is internal energy, Q_1\ and\ Q_2 are charges and r_0 is the size.

More the lattice energy more will be the energy to break ionic lattice in order to melt.

Therefore, more the lattice energy, more will be melting point.

Moreover, lattice energy is proportional to charge and inversely proportional to size.

Consider the compounds given

In SrCl_2,\ charges\ are\ Sr^{2+},\ Cl^-

In CsBr, charges are Cs^+,\ Br^-

In RbCl charges are Rb^+,\ Cl^-

In Srs, charges on ions are Sr^{2+},\ S^{2-}

Order of the sizes are as follows:

Cs > Rb

Br > Cl

Cs > Sr

Therefore, decreasing order of melting point:

SrS > SrCl_2 > RbCl > CsBr

Blood is red. Is this an intensive or extensive physical property?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: Intensive physical property

Explanation: Color is an intensive physical property since intensive properties are properties that stay the same no matter the amount of the substance is present. Blood is still red whether or not you have 2 liters of it or 4 liters.

Lapatulllka [165]
The trend of atomic radius in the periodic table is increasing from right to left and from top to bottom. In reference to the table, oxygen has smaller radius compared to carbon, which is smaller than aluminum and which is also smaller than potassium. Thus, the trend from smallest to biggest is oxygen carbon, aluminum and potassium.
