2. (a) Krypton (noble gas) and Rubidium (Group I metal) Kr has a simple molecular structure and Rb has a giant metallic structure. Larger amount of energy is needed to overcome the stronger electrostatic attraction between Rb+ and its mobile electrons than the weaker van der Waals' forces between Kr atoms . Hence, boiling point of Rb is higher than that of Kr.
b) AlF3 and PF3 AlF3 has a giant ionic structure and PF3 has a simple molecular/ covalent structure. Larger amount of energy is needed to overcome the stronger electrostatic attraction between Al3+ and F( ions in AlF3 than the weaker intermolecular forces (or van der Waals' forces/ permanent dipole –permanent dipole attraction) between PF3
