Pure rubidium wouldn't be something to taste - it's explosively reactive with, well, just about everything. However, rubidium when it is in a compound with a halogen (like chlorine, or fluorine) makes a salt, and it will taste salty/bitter and appear like a white granular solid (like table salt.)

Rubidium metal itself does not have a strong odor. However, rubidium compounds may produce a slight metallic or sweet odor when they react with air or water.

What is the name of RbClO3?
Rubidium hypochlorite is the name for this chemical formula.
What period is the element rb in the periodic table?
Rb is the symbol for the element, rubidium.
What is the formula and name for Rb O?
The formula for rubidium oxide is Rb2O. It is a chemical compound composed of rubidium cations (Rb+) and oxide anions (O2-).
Is RbI an ionic compound?
Rubidium iodide
What does rubidium hydroxide and water make?
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.
What is the name of RbClO3?
Rubidium hypochlorite is the name for this chemical formula.
What period is the element rb in the periodic table?
Rb is the symbol for the element, rubidium.
What is the formula and name for Rb O?
The formula for rubidium oxide is Rb2O. It is a chemical compound composed of rubidium cations (Rb+) and oxide anions (O2-).
What is the odor of technetium?
I don't think Rhenium is very odorous because it is a silvery-white metal with one of the highest melting points (3186 °C) of all elements, exceeded by only tungsten and carbon. Its boiling point is even higher: 5596 °C, which indicates a very, very low partial vapor pressure at STP. (Btw. can you smell pure gold or platinum?)
What is rubidium made of?
Rubidium is an element and so it is made of nothing but rubidium.
Is RbI an ionic compound?
Rubidium iodide
Can rubidium be burned?
Rubidium is not flammable.
Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?
A rubidium atom is larger than a neutral atom because, when it loses an electron to become an ion, it loses an electron from the outermost shell, increasing the effective nuclear charge which attracts the remaining electrons closer to the nucleus, reducing the size of the ion compared to the atom.
What is the symbol for rubidium?
Rubidium's symbol is Rb.
What is more reactive rubidium or krypton?
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.
What is the name of compound RbF?
That is the formula. Rubidium fluoride (RbF) has a chemical formula of RbF.
Word equation rubidium and water?
The word equation for the reaction of rubidium with water is rubidium + water --> rubidium hydroxide + hydrogen. Rubidium is a metal that reacts very quickly and fiercely, even explosively with water.
