Rubidium because it is lower on the periodic table and therefore has more electrons to shield the valence electrons from the positive core

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Shielding effect is the effect in which nucleus of an atom is surrounded by number of electrons in such a manner that there will be decrease in attraction between nucleus and valence electrons.

So, more is the number of shells present in an atom more will be its shielding effect. Whereas smaller is the size of atom more will be attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons. So, it would be difficult to remove an electron from the valence shell.

For example, rubidium is larger in size so it has more number of shells and thus more shielding effect.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options rubidium would exhibit the greatest shielding effect.

Fiesta28 [93]

Tap water and rain water are both homogeneous, even though they may have different levels of dissolved minerals and gases. A bottle of alcohol is a man-made homogeneous mixture, from a fine Italian wine to a glass of Scotch whisky. In the human body, blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture.

If 16 moles of al react with 3 moles of S8 how many moles of Al2 S3 will be formed
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

8 moles

Explanation:

Al reacts with S_8 to produce Al_2S_3 as

Al+S_8\rightarrow Al_2S_3

The balanced chemical equation is

16Al+3S_8\rightarrow 8Al_2S_3

In the reaction, 16 moles of Al react with 3 moles of S_8 to produce 8 moles of Al_2S_3.
