The Periodic Table shows the common charges of ions that group elements form. Using the information in the Periodic Table, how would you rank the elements rubidium (Rb), antimony (Sb), and iodine (I) in order of increasing number of valence electrons? A Antimony has a greater number of valence electrons than iodine but a lower number than rubidium.   B Antimony has a lower number of valence electrons than iodine but a greater number than rubidium.   C Iodine has a lower number of valence electrons than rubidium but a greater number than antimony.   D Rubidium has a greater number of valence electrons than antimony but a lower number than iodine.
