Final answer:

The elements can be arranged in order of increasing electronegativity as follows: Rb, Cd, Ag, Rb, Xe.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electronegativity increases from lower left to upper right in the periodic table. Because Rb lies at the bottom-left of the rectangle formed by the six elements given, it will have the lowest electronegativity. Therefore, the elements can be arranged in order of increasing electronegativity as follows:

  1. Rb
  2. Cd
  3. Ag
  4. Rb
  5. Xe
