As rubidium is a group one element, it has only the 5s1 electron in its outer energy level which makes it very reactive. So, if we were to drop some rubidium in water it would react rapidly to produce smoke and small sparks.
There are lots of YouTube videos of this reaction so take a look.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between rubidium and seslium?
If you mean "What is the difference between rubidium and cesium?" then Rubidium and cesium are two different elements.They have similar properties but cesium is denser and has a higher atomic mass.Cesium also reacts more vigorously with water and air.
Displaced water when a cube of 100kg is dropped?
The answer depends on the density as well as the shape of the 100 kg mass.
Which metals react with water at room temperature?
The most common set of metals that react with water at room temperature are the alkali metals, namely lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. while these metals react quite violently with water at room temperature, many if not most other metals have some sort of reaction with water at room temperature (IE, iron rusting in water)
How do you collect evaporated water?
A piece of plastic over a boiling kettle will collect the steam (evaporated water) and it will condense.
What is the name of a Small glass or plastic piece that is used to cover a water drop on a slide?
cover slip is a small piece of glass which is used to cover.
Which elements reacts rapidly when dropped in water?
Rubidium (Rb)
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.
Is rubidium oxide soluble in water?
Yes, rubidium oxide is soluble in water and it forms a strong alkaline solution due to the formation of rubidium hydroxide.
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.
What does rubidium and water make?
rubidium + water ---> rubidium hydroxide + hydrogen 2Rb (s) + 2H20 (l) ---> 2RbOH (aq) + H2 (g)
Is rubidium chloride soluble in water?
Yes. All rubidium compounds are water soluble.
What will happen to a solid object with a greater density than water when it is dropped into water?
It will sink.
What happens when rubidium is added to water?
Rubidium is highly reactive and if it is added to cold water there will be a large, exothermic reation; rubidium hydroxide and hydrogen are formed.
Is rubidium in water an acid or a base?
Rubidium reacts violently with water to create Rubidium Hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The gas may ignite with the heat of the reaction. The Rubidium Hydroxide remains in solution in the water, and is very strongly alkaline - i.e. it is a base.2Rb(s) + 2H20(l) ---> 2RbOH(aq) + H2(g)
Does rubidium float or sink?
Rubidium is a metal, so it is denser than water and will sink when placed in it.
What would happen if Rb was added to water?
If rubidium (Rb) is added to water, it would react vigorously, releasing hydrogen gas and forming rubidium hydroxide. This reaction is highly exothermic and can even result in the ignition of the hydrogen gas produced. It is important to handle alkali metals such as rubidium with caution due to their reactive nature.
What is the explosive force of Rubidium when it comes in contact with cold water?
Rubidium reacts violently (and does not explode,) to produce Rubidium Hydroxide and Hydrogen.
