When rubidium (Rb) and phosphorus (P) bond ionically, they form the compound rubidium phosphide, and it has the formula Rb3P. This is because rubidium has a charge of +1 during bonding (because of its 1 valence electron) and phosphorus has a charge of -3 (because of its 5 valence electrons - see "octet rule.") Thus, it takes 3 rubidiums to satisfy phosphorus' need for 3 electrons. It is incorrect to call this compound "rubidium tri-phosphide," because this scenario is the only way those two elements can bond, so any prefixes would be redundant. In the naming of ionic compounds, the cation comes first, and its name is unchanged, but the anion gains the suffix "-ide."
The rubidium nitride has the chemical formula Rb3N.
RbBr is the chemical formula for rubidium bromide. Rb stands for rubidium and Br for bromine.
Like all Rb compounds it is ionic.
The chemical formula for the compound formed between rubidium and oxygen is rubidium oxide - Rb2O.
The chemical symbol of rubidium is Rb Rb-- atomic # 37, atomic weight 85.87
Rb
The rubidium nitride has the chemical formula Rb3N.
RbBr is the chemical formula for rubidium bromide. Rb stands for rubidium and Br for bromine.
Like all Rb compounds it is ionic.
These are the ions and their charges: Rb+1 N-3The charges have to add up to zero, so two +1 Rb ions were added to cancel out the -3 charge of N: Rb+1 Rb+1 Rb+1 N-3Simplify: Rb3N
Rubidium is an element and its chemical symbol on the periodic table is Rb [Atomic number:37]
Since Rb forms a 1+ ion the formula for rubidium oxide is Rb2O.
Rubidium does not have a formula but a symbol: Rb.
The chemical formula for the compound formed between rubidium and oxygen is rubidium oxide - Rb2O.
The chemical symbol of rubidium is Rb Rb-- atomic # 37, atomic weight 85.87
Rubidium+Phosporous+Chloride=Rubidum Phophide.
Rb is rubidium, O is oxygen. They will combine to form Rb2O which is called rubidium oxide.
