Rubidium and cesium have similar chemical
properties because, in the ground state, the
atoms of both elements each have
(1) one electron in the outermost shell
(2) two electrons in the outermost shell
(3) one neutron in the nucleus
(4) two neutrons in the nucleus

Pegmatites are igneous rocks in which the individual minerals are very large. typically, the minerals are all light-colored quartz, feldspar and muscovite. if you were given a black and white photograph of a pegmatite in a quarry (where the rock has been blasted and broken), what physical properties could you use to identify those three minerals in this hypothetical photo? describe each mineral and the specific diagnostic properties. be specific.
