Answer:its mercury i think!!!!!
Explanation:
Answer:
Most similar - Lithium
Least similar - Phosphorus
Explanation:
Rubidium is an element in group 1A of the periodic table. It is a metal and forms an ionic compound with chlorine. The formula of the compound is RbCl.
If we look at the options, Lithium is also a group 1A element and forms an ionic compound with chlorine having the formula LiCl which is very much similar to RbCl chemically.
Phosphorus is a nonmetal. Its compounds with chlorine, PCl3 and PCl5 are covalent and does not resemble RbCl in any way.
more reactive metals:
potassium (highest reactivity)
sodium
calcium
magnesium
moderate reactive metals:
aluminium
zinc
iron
lead
least reactive metals:
copper
mercury
silver
gold (least reactivity)
the formula of the compound that is formed between chlorine and calcium is CaCl2
explanation
chlorine (non metal) react with Calcium ( a metal) to form an ionic compound CaCl2
Ionic compound is formed when metal loses electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion) while non metal gains electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion)
An ionic compound is formed when calcium metal(Ca) loses two electron to form Ca2+ cation , while 2 chlorine atom gain one electron each to form cl- anions.
- when writing down the formula of ionic compound cation symbol is written first followed by anion symbol.
Therefore the formula of ionic compound formed between chlorine and calcium is CaCl2
