Rubidium (Rb) can react with many things such as hydrogen because rubidium has one spare electron 2, 8, 18, 8, 1 and hydrogen has only one outer electron so hydrogen in water will reactvigorously with rubidium as hydrogen is desperate to gain one electron and rubidium is desperate to lose one electron and when these bond they form an ion.
Rubidium (Rb, #37) is highly reactive, and will combine with both the oxygen and the nitrogen in the air. It reacts with oxygen as follows:
4Rb + O2 --> 2Rb2O
It reacts with nitrogen as follows:
6Rb + N2 --> 2Rb3N
It will also react with water vapor in the air (and water anywhere else) in a violent exothermic reaction that produces a metallic hydroxide and hydrogen gas as follows:
2Rb + 2H2O --> 2RbOH + H2
Rubidium is a group one alkali metal. In the presence of chlorine gas, pure rubidium metal will burn violently. Chlorine will take the single valence electron of rubidium and create rubidium chloride. 2Rb + Cl2 >> 2RbCl Rubidium is oxidized and chlorine is reduced.
Rubidium is highly reactive and will react with water, oxygen, acids and so on.
Yes, as an alkali metal it is extremely reactive, in this case second only to cesium.
It explodes on contact to water and burns on contact to air.
It burns very intensely. 4 Rb + O2 --> 2 Rb2O
It reacts very exothermically producing white Rubidium chloride
Radium, as an alkaline earth metal, has similar chemical properties as barium.
Rubidium oxide and rubidium nitride.
chlornine
Yes. Rubidium is an alkali metal in the sodium group. It will react with iodine to form rubidium iodide:- 2Rb+ I2 -> 2RbI
Rubidium oxide react with water.
Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.
All alkali metals are soft, silvery-white and react violently with both water and air: they include lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and francium.
Alkali metals are very reactive and can react with the majority of other nonmetal elements.
Rubidium is a highly reactive metal and will react quickly with oxygen in the air. It will combust spontaneously, forming rubidium oxide (Rb2O), which is a white solid. The reaction is exothermic, releasing energy in the form of heat.
Yes. Rubidium is an alkali metal in the sodium group. It will react with iodine to form rubidium iodide:- 2Rb+ I2 -> 2RbI
Rubidium oxide react with water.
Rubidium metal would react with iodine to make rubidium iodide , according to the equation: 2 Ru + I2 -> 2 RuI
FRb
Hydrogen.
To ensure purity and safety, Rubidium (Rb) must be kept in a dry mineral oil or in a vacuum. It needs to be stored in this way because it is highly reactive with air and water.

If consumed rubidium may be poisonous, but other wise it isn't.
Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium are the main alkali metals, which all react fairly spectacularly with water (Cesium must be kept in argon gas to stop it reacting with air).
Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.
All of the 1st group metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) because they react with the air and many other things.
