Is rubidium a transition element?
NO!!!! It is a Group '1' metal, and reacts similarly , but more violently than sodium or potassium.
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.
Which element reacts violently with acids?
bases
What element reacts violently with oxygen?
Potassium reacts violently with oxygen, producing a bright flame and releasing a significant amount of heat.
What happens to rubidium when its put in acid?
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.
Is rubidium in water an acid or a base?
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)
What element can be cut with a knife and reacts violently with water?
Any of the alkali metals (in group one of the periodic table)
What period is the element rb in the periodic table?
Rb is the symbol for the element, rubidium.
Which element is a low density metal that reacts quickly with water?
The 1st group elements i.e. Lithium,Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium are all low density metals and they react violently with water.
What are some of the characteristics of the element Rubidium?
The element Rubidium is part of the alkali metals group and is silvery-white and soft. It has a melting point of about 40 degrees celsius and a boiling point of 696 degrees celsius. It can ignite randomly in air and reacts violently with water. It can form amalgams with mercury and its flame is a yellowish purple.
Equation of the reaction of rubidium with water?
Being an alkali metal Rubidium reacts violently with water, the reaction is similar to sodium and water but rubidium like cesium causes violent and explosive reaction with water, besides rubidium is highly reactive it gets rapidly oxidized.
Is rubidium a compound or an element?
Rubidium is an element (atomic number 37).
