Rb is rubidium, O is oxygen. They will combine to form Rb2O which is called rubidium oxide.
Rubidium oxide has an ionic bond.
Yes, rubidium oxide is soluble in water and it forms a strong alkaline solution due to the formation of rubidium hydroxide.
The chemical formula for Rubidium Oxide is the formula: Rb2O.
Rb2O is an ionic compound known as rubidium oxide. It is composed of rubidium cations (Rb+) and oxide anions (O2-).
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of rubidium hydroxide from rubidium oxide is: 2 Rb2O + 2 H2O → 4 RbOH
RbO is not an element, but there are two elements in it . . . Rubidium and Oxygen. It would be called, "Rubidium Oxide".
Since Rb forms a 1+ ion the formula for rubidium oxide is Rb2O.
The compound Rb2O is called rubidium oxide. It is an inorganic compound composed of rubidium and oxygen atoms.
Rubidium will form cation: Rb+
Rb2O (rubidium oxide) is an ionic compound. It is composed of rubidium ions (Rb+) and oxide ions (O2-), which are held together by ionic bonds formed through the transfer of electrons from rubidium to oxygen.
Rb is rubidium, O is oxygen. They will combine to form Rb2O which is called rubidium oxide.
