To ensure purity and safety, Rubidium (Rb) must be kept in a dry mineral oil or in a vacuum. It needs to be stored in this way because it is highly reactive with air and water.
Trirubidium phosphite is the name for the compound Rb3PO3.
The family of caesium on the periodic table is the alkali metal family, which also includes lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and francium. Alkali metals share similar properties such as being highly reactive and having a single electron in their outermost shell.
Caesium is the 5th element in group I of the periodic table. It is an alkali metal, and they become more reactive as you go down the group from lithium to sodium to potassium etc. So we would expect that caesium is highly reactive, even more reactive than rubidium.
Of the Group 1 elements stated (Na, K, Rb, Cs), Caesium is the largest as it is the furthest down the group, and Sodium is the smallest of those as it is furthest up the group.
Rubidium metal would react with iodine to make rubidium iodide , according to the equation: 2 Ru + I2 -> 2 RuI
Francium, caesium, rubidium
The elements are: lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium.
Caesium: 1860 Rubidium: 1861 Francium: 1939
No, rubidium and caesium can also sink in water
Only caesium has the same properties as caesium. There are other elements which have some similar properties.
