question 5
rank the following from least metallic to most:

1. ti (titanium)
2. s (sulfur)
3. al (aluminum)
4. rb (rubidium)
5. zn (zinc)

Explanation:

Metallic character increases down a group and decreases across a period from left to right. Sulfur (S) is a non - metal. Among the metals, Aluminum (Al) is in period 3, Titanium (Ti) in period 4, Zinc (Zn) in period 4 (but further to the right than Ti in the transition metals), and Rubidium (Rb) in period 5.

Answer:

1. S (Sulfur), 3. Al (Aluminum), 1. Ti (Titanium), 5. Zn (Zinc), 4. Rb (Rubidium)
