Is caesium soluble?
Caesium react with water.
Which elements are unstable when combined with water?
The Alkali metals (namely, Lithium, sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium and Francium in that order).
Is rubidium poisonous or is it hazardous?
If consumed rubidium may be poisonous, but other wise it isn't.
How fast will rubidium react with water?
Because Rubidium is a very reactive metal as it is in Group 1, the reaction time for it will be very quick indeed. Scientists think that it can be half the quickness of the speed of lightening.
What family of elements is very reactive to water?
Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)
Does rubidium and caesium react explosively with water as the other alkali metals by forming hydroxides?
Yes, it is true.
What is the reactivity of caesium?
Caesium is the 5th element in group I of the periodic table. It is an alkali metal, and they become more reactive as you go down the group from lithium to sodium to potassium etc. So we would expect that caesium is highly reactive, even more reactive than rubidium.
Is caesium soluble?
Caesium react with water.
is gold the only metal that sinks in water?
No, rubidium and caesium can also sink in water
What metals can react explosively with cold water?
Rubidium, caesium and francium. Potassium will generate enough heat to ignite the hydrogen produced in the reaction but the reaction is not really explosive.
Is rubidium oxide soluble in water?
Rubidium oxide react with water.
What shiny metal explodes on contact with air or water?
Rubidium and caesium
Where would you store rubidium and caesium?
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.
Which metal reacts with water?
Very active metals which are on top of the electro-chemical series like sodium can react with water to release hydrogen.
What family does the element sodium come from?
if by family you mean section then i think that it is alkali metals these react quite a lot when dropped in to water it goes with lithium/potasium/rubidium/Caesium/francium hope that helped
What metal can displace sodium metal from sodium chloride?
You could use potassium, rubidium or caesium. However, there is no practical reason why you would do this. You'd have to do it in the melt, which would be hazardous, as all these metals react with water.
What gas is produced when rubidium and water react?
Hydrogen.
