First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.
Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.
Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.
As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.
Metals of Group 1 donate 1 electron from its ns orbital to form ionic bond, where n is the no. of its outermost shell.
Metals of Group 2<span> donate 2 electrons from its ns orbital to form ionic bond, where n is the no. </span>of its <span>outermost shell. </span>
The answer is true. It is the last star.
Answer:
2.5
Explanation:
The given costs for the purchase and delivery of the cupcakes are;
The cost of 10 cupcakes and the delivery fee = $30
The cost of 25 cupcakes and the delivery fee = $67.50
Let 'c' represent the fixed cost of delivery of the cup cakes, and let 'x' represent the cost of each cup cake, we have;
30 = 10·x + c...(1)
67.50 = 25·x + c...(2)
Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2) gives;
67.50 - 30 = 37.50 = 25·x - 10·x + c - c = 15·x
∴ x = 37.50/15 = 2.5
The cost of each cupcake, x = 2.5
(∴ The delivery fee = 30 - 10 × 2.5 = 5)
The cost of each cupcake is 2.5.
