Rubidium , like sodium and potassium, is a Group (I) metallic element. Like sodium and potassium, it has only ONE valence electron, which it readily ionisses to become Rb^(+) cation.
Because it is further down the Group(I) it is more reactive than sodium or potassium, by that one electron ionising off extremely quickly, when reacting with water to liberate hydrogen , which in turn because of the energy release , the hydrogen ignites , with a violent bang.
If in an experiment, have the largest tank of water possible , the smallest (pin head sized), pellet of rubidium, a glass-screen, and preferably outdoors. Drop, using tongs, the pellet into the water from behind the screen, and it will instantaneously bang.
What else can I help you with?
How many electrons does Rubidium have?
The atomic number of rubidium is 37. That means it has 37 protons and 37 electrons. After we fill in the first 37 orbitals with electrons, we get the configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s1. Since 5 is the highest numbered shell, rubidium has 1 valence electron.
How many valence electrons are in rubidium?
1 valence electron. It is an alkali metal and all alkali metals have one atom on their last energy level.
How many electrons does rubidium have in its outer most shell?
5s1, so one valence electron in the 5th shell
How many valence electrons does Na have?
One. Sodium is found in Group 1, which is characterized by having one valence electron, so by extension, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium also have one valence electron.
How many electrons are in the outermost shell for sodium and cesium?
For group 1 elements : lithium , sodium, potassium...etc All of them have one valence electrons , however Rubidium(Rb) have two valence electrons. Therefore, Cesium have one valence electrons. :D
How many valence electrons are present in rubidium?
Rubidium has one valence electron as it an alkali metal.
How many valence electrons do Rb have?
Rubidium has one valence electron in the 5s orbital.
How many electron unpaired is in rubidium?
2 Valence Electrons
How many electrons does Rubidium have?
The atomic number of rubidium is 37. That means it has 37 protons and 37 electrons. After we fill in the first 37 orbitals with electrons, we get the configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s1. Since 5 is the highest numbered shell, rubidium has 1 valence electron.
Which valence electron if further from the nucleus rubidium or strontium?
Rubidium has one valence electron in the 5th energy level, while strontium has two valence electrons in the 5th energy level. Since rubidium has only one valence electron compared to strontium's two, the valence electron in rubidium is further from the nucleus. This is due to the increasing number of electron shells as you move down a group in the periodic table.
How many valence electrons does ribidium have?
Rubidium is in group 1. The electron configuration is [Kr] 5s1. It has one valence electron.
How many valence electrons does Rb rubidium have?
Rubidium (Rb) has 1 valence electron. This is because it is in the first group (group 1) of the periodic table, which means it has 1 electron in its outermost shell.
What element has more valence electrons than silicon-fewer valence electrons than sulfur more protons than rubidium but fewer protons than tellurium?
This would be Sb - Antimony.
How many valence electrons are in rubidium?
1 valence electron. It is an alkali metal and all alkali metals have one atom on their last energy level.
How many electrons does rubidium have in its outer most shell?
5s1, so one valence electron in the 5th shell
Does rubidium have one valence electron?
Yes. Rubidium is an alkali metal, and all alkali metals have one valence electron.
How many valence electrons does Na have?
One. Sodium is found in Group 1, which is characterized by having one valence electron, so by extension, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium also have one valence electron.
