In rubidium oxide - Rb₂O , the ions are Rb⁺ and O²⁻
Rb is a group one element with one valence electron. To become stable it loses its outer electron to gain a complete outer shell.
Electronic configuration of Rb is - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 5s¹
Once it loses its valence electron the configuration is;
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Krypton - Kr
Oxygen electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
Once it gains 2 electrons the configuration is - 1s² 2s² 3p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Neon - Ne
It's not really possible to tell longitudinal vs. transverse in this image as given. However, we can say that the waves labeled A are high-frequency (short wavelengths) while the waves labeled B are low-frequency (long wavelengths). So, this third answer choice would be correct here.

Answer: matter and its interaction with energy. Matter has mass and occupies space. A Substance is matter that cannot be separated into other kinds of matter by physical means.
Explanation:
