There are 37 protons in one atom of rubidium-85.
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
It is the rubidium metal. it is in the first group.
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
Sodium become a cation (positive charge) - Na+.
An atom of rubidium-85 becomes a rubidium ion with a 1 charge by losing one electron. Since rubidium-85 has 37 protons and 37 electrons, losing one electron would result in the ion having 37 protons and 36 electrons, giving it a net charge of +1.
A rubidium atom is larger than a neutral atom because, when it loses an electron to become an ion, it loses an electron from the outermost shell, increasing the effective nuclear charge which attracts the remaining electrons closer to the nucleus, reducing the size of the ion compared to the atom.
1: RbCl (Rubidium has 1+ charge, and Chlorine has 1-)
Rb+
The formula for the ionic compound formed between rubidium and sulfur is Rb2S. Rubidium is a group 1 element with a +1 charge, and sulfur is a group 16 element with a -2 charge. To balance the charges, two rubidium atoms are needed for every sulfur atom.
There are 37 protons in one atom of rubidium-85.
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
When a chlorine atom ionizes, it gains one electron to become the chloride ion with a charge of -1.
This atom become a cation (positive).
The formula for the ionic compound formed between rubidium (Rb) and phosphorus (P) is Rb3P, because rubidium is a group 1 metal with a +1 charge and phosphorus is a group 15 nonmetal with a -3 charge. To balance the charges, you need three rubidium atoms for every one phosphorus atom.
