Answer:

The right answer is A, that is Rubidium (Rb)

Explanation:

Strontium has 2 electrons in the valance shell and is alkaline earth metal but relatively reactive.

Rubidium comes in period 5 and under alkali metals and very reactive towards oxygen and highly reactive than strontium and other option

This element has 2 electrons in its valence subshell (5s) according to Madelung rule.

Madelung rule that if the two orbitals have the same n+l value they fill in increasing order of n.

So the right answer is A, that is Rubidium (Rb)

s the purpose of the CaCl2 drying tube? What chemical reaction is it preventing (please supply a mechanism).

monitta

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A drying tube prevents moisture from contaminating the reactants. The drying tube contains CaCl2 a hygroscopic material whose function is to absorb the moisture so that it does not react with the Grignard reagent. Without the desiccating action of CaCl2, moisture will enter the reaction chamber,contaminating the reactants.

If water reacts with the Grignard reagent, an alkane is formed. The mechanism of this reaction is shown in the image attached. R here represents the alkyl moiety of the Grignard reagent.
