A rare metallic element. It occurs quite widely, but in small quantities, and always combined. It is isolated as a soft yellowish white metal, analogous to potassium in most of its properties. Symbol Rb. Atomic weight, 85.2.
Because of the bright red lines in its emission spectrum, they chose a name derived from the Latin word rubidus, meaning "dark red" so the name rubidium.
Rubidium is paramagnetic, meaning it is weakly attracted to magnetic fields. Its magnetic properties are due to the presence of unpaired electrons in its atomic structure. However, rubidium is not considered strongly magnetic like iron or nickel.
Because it is chemical compound relates relatively to its color.
Rubidium hypochlorite is the name for this chemical formula.
The word equation for rubidium and chlorine is: rubidium + chlorine -> rubidium chloride.
Rb is the symbol for the element, rubidium.
Rb is rubidium, O is oxygen. They will combine to form Rb2O which is called rubidium oxide.
Rubidium is not flammable.
Rubidium has two natural isotopes (85Rb and 87Rb) and 30 artificial isotopes.
Mixing rubidium hydroxide with water produces rubidium hydroxide solution. Rubidium hydroxide is a strong base that ionizes in water to give rubidium cations and hydroxide anions.
Rubidium is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal with a low melting point. It is highly reactive, especially with air and water. Rubidium is one of the most electropositive elements, meaning it readily loses its single valence electron to form cations in chemical reactions.
That is the formula. Rubidium fluoride (RbF) has a chemical formula of RbF.
