What would happen if a piece of rubidium were dropped in water?

As rubidium is a group one element, it has only the 5s1 electron in its outer energy level which makes it very reactive. So, if we were to drop some rubidium in water it would react rapidly to produce smoke and small sparks.
There are lots of YouTube videos of this reaction so take a look.

What is the difference between rubidium and seslium?
If you mean "What is the difference between rubidium and cesium?" then Rubidium and cesium are two different elements.They have similar properties but cesium is denser and has a higher atomic mass.Cesium also reacts more vigorously with water and air.
Which metals react with water at room temperature?
The most common set of metals that react with water at room temperature are the alkali metals, namely lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. while these metals react quite violently with water at room temperature, many if not most other metals have some sort of reaction with water at room temperature (IE, iron rusting in water)
Displaced water when a cube of 100kg is dropped?
The answer depends on the density as well as the shape of the 100 kg mass.
How do you collect evaporated water?
A piece of plastic over a boiling kettle will collect the steam (evaporated water) and it will condense.
What is the name of a Small glass or plastic piece that is used to cover a water drop on a slide?

Which elements reacts rapidly when dropped in water?
Rubidium (Rb)
Word equation rubidium and water?
The word equation for the reaction of rubidium with water is rubidium + water --> rubidium hydroxide + hydrogen. Rubidium is a metal that reacts very quickly and fiercely, even explosively with water.
What will happen to lead when it is dropped into water?
It will sink
A piece of sodium that's dropped into a beaker of water?
when sodium is dropped into water sodium hydroxide is produced leaving out hydrogen.
Is rubidium oxide soluble in water?
Rubidium oxide react with water.
What does rubidium hydroxide and water make?
A water solution of Rubidium hydroxide
Is rubidium chloride soluble in water?
Yes. All rubidium compounds are water soluble.
What does rubidium and water make?
rubidium + water ---> rubidium hydroxide + hydrogen 2Rb (s) + 2H20 (l) ---> 2RbOH (aq) + H2 (g)
What will happen if small piece of crystall of potassium permaganate is dropped in a beaker filled with water and is heated?
The water turns purple, and gets hotter. And what happens to the beaker? Depending on what it is made of, and the temperature to which it is heated, it might melt.
What happens when rubidium is added to water?
Rubidium is highly reactive and if it is added to cold water there will be a large, exothermic reation; rubidium hydroxide and hydrogen are formed.
What will happen to a solid object with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink.
What is the explosive force of Rubidium when it comes in contact with cold water?
Rubidium reacts violently (and does not explode,) to produce Rubidium Hydroxide and Hydrogen.
