Sodium has a melting point of 97.72 oC and rubidium has a melting point of 39.48 oC.
Lower.
Much higher. Water melts around 1 0C. At this temperature and much higher, sodium oxide is a solid.
The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher the melting point.
Because the mixture NaCl + CaCl2 has a lower melting point that NaCl.
Oxygen has weaker bonds between it's atoms compared to that of sodium which are obviously stronger
LOWER
Lower.
Common table salt (sodium chloride) has a much higher melting point than either sodium or chlorine.
Much higher. Water melts around 1 0C. At this temperature and much higher, sodium oxide is a solid.
lower melting points
Sodium chloride is a ionic compound. Generally they have high melting points.

At STP it is a soft shiny metal, which readily oxidises to rubidium oxide in the atmosphere. Since it is Group 1 pf the Periodic Table, it behaves like sodium or potassium . Since it 'lower' down the Group it reacts more vigorously that sodium or potassium .
