Which other elements contain the same number of outer electrons as potassium?

All the elements in the first column of the periodic table have 1 valence electron.They include: lithium (Li), sodium (Na), postassium (K), rubidium (Rb),cesium (Cs), and Francium (Fr).See the Related Questions for more information.


What is Rb2Cr2O7?

Rb- RubidiumCr2O7 - dichromateRubidium dichromate


What is the chemical formula for rubidium nitrate?

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


Which other elements contain the same number of outer electrons as sodium and what is the chemical symbols?

Lithium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium. Li , Rb , Cs, and Fr


How does rubidium form an ion?

in the same way as sodium/potassium forms an ion. Lithium has an electron configuration of 2,1 Sodium has an electron configuration of 2,8,1, Potassium has an electron configuration of 2,8,8,1 Rubidium has an electron configuration of 2,8,8,18,1 Caesium has the electron configuration of 2,8,8,18,18,1 Notice in all cases the last number is '1'. This represents the outer most electron, shell with one electron. Since it is the outer most electron and is shielded by energy shells of electrons from the nucleus, this outer most electron is not strongly held to the atom. The atom readily releases this outermost electron , and the process is called ionisation. Chemically it is represented by the formula M(g) = M^+(g) + e^- NB 'M' is an ATOM 'M^+' is an ION (Not an atom).

Rank from most to fewest valence electrons- Sb In Rb Xe?

Sb has 5 valence electrons, In has 3, Rb has 1 valence electron and Xe has 8. So in ranking, it would be, Xe, Sb, In, Rb.


How many electrons do Rb have?

Rubidium (Rb) has a +1 ion, will have the same electron configuration as krypton (Kr) because the +1 status means it has lost an electron. The configuration is written 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6.

What is the ionic formula for Rubidium and chlorine?

Rubidium is a group 1 metal with just one valence electron. It therefore forms the ion Rb+ as it loses the electron. The ionic formula is Rb+ Cl-


What is Rb's number of protons?

There is actually 37 Protons in Rb (Rubidium). Also there is the same number of protons as electrons. So 37 for protons and electrons. (: Your welcome little kid.


Why does ribidium react with water?

Rubidium has only one valence electron which it loses easily to form the Rb+ ion. When rubidium atoms come in contact with water, they hive up those electrons to the water molecules, reducing them to hydroxide ions (OH-) and hydrogen gas (H2)
