German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff discovered rubidium in 1861 by the newly developed method of flame spectroscopy
Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff through flame spectroscopy. Flame spectroscopy involve taking the substance to be analzed, coating a wire in it, and holding the wire inside of the flame of a Bunsen Burner (guess who invented this! See above). The color of the flame is then recorded.

Rubidium is a neutral atom in its elemental form. The rubidium ion, found in rubidium compounds, is smaller than a neutral rubidium atom.
What period is rubidium found?
Rb is found in the 5th period. It is in the s block.
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?
Rb is rubidium, O is oxygen. They will combine to form Rb2O which is called rubidium oxide.
What element is found in photocells?
Rubidium and cesium
Is rubidium in any household objects?
No, rubidium is not found in household objects.
Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?
Rubidium is a neutral atom in its elemental form. The rubidium ion, found in rubidium compounds, is smaller than a neutral rubidium atom.
Where was rubidium found at?
in coal is it really found in coal?
Were could rubidium currently be found?
Today, most rubidium is produced as a byproduct of the lithium refinement process. Rubidium was originally found in 1861 when Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff analyzed lepidolite.
What period is rubidium found?
Rb is found in the 5th period. It is in the s block.
Element discovered by Bunsen and kirchoff?
Rubidium and Cesium. Rubidium was found to give off an emission spectrum of Ruby-Reddish.And Cesium with a bluish-purplish emission.
