No.
The noble gas core configuration of rubidium is [Kr]5s1. It is derived from the electron configuration of the noble gas krypton ([Kr] = 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p6), followed by the valence shell configuration of rubidium (5s1).
The nearest noble gas to rubidium is krypton. Rubidium, which has the atomic number 37, is located in group 1 of the periodic table, while krypton, with the atomic number 36, is found in group 18. Krypton is one period above rubidium, making it the closest noble gas in terms of atomic number.
[Kr] 5s1
Rubidium has an atomic number of 37, making it an alkali metal. This means that its last shell is an s with only one electron. The full notation is [Kr] 5s1.
Rubidium is more reactive than krypton. Rubidium is an alkali metal and reacts vigorously with water, while krypton is a noble gas and is inert under normal conditions.
[Kr]5s1 would be the noble gas electron configuration for Rb.
Rubidium reacts violently with water to create Rubidium Hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The gas may ignite with the heat of the reaction. The Rubidium Hydroxide remains in solution in the water, and is very strongly alkaline - i.e. it is a base.2Rb(s) + 2H20(l) ---> 2RbOH(aq) + H2(g)
The noble gas notation "Kr 5s1" indicates that the element has one electron in the 5s subshell, following krypton (Kr), which has an atomic number of 36. Therefore, the atomic number of the element is 37, which corresponds to rubidium (Rb).
When rubidium is put in acid, it reacts and forms rubidium ions and hydrogen gas. This reaction is violent and can release a significant amount of heat and gas. Precautions should be taken when handling this reaction as it can be hazardous.
No, rubidium is not considered a transition metal. It is not located in the periodic table where the other transition metals are, which is mainly the d-block.
No, it is a noble gas
