Rubidium reacts violently (and does not explode,) to produce Rubidium Hydroxide and Hydrogen.
The rubidium reacts violently, producing hydrogen gas and a rubidium salt. If oxygen is present the heat from the reaction may ignite the hydrogen.

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.
The 1st group elements i.e. Lithium,Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium are all low density metals and they react violently 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.
Rb is the symbol for the element, rubidium.
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)
Any of the alkali metals (in group one of the periodic table)
The element Sodium (Na) is not poisonous, but reacts violently with moisture. Sodium Chloride (Salt) is not poisonous either, but too much makes you fat :)
