Rubidium sulfate (Rb₂SO₄) primarily contains ionic bonds due to the electrostatic attraction between the rubidium ions (Rb⁺) and the sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻). The rubidium ions, being alkali metals, readily lose an electron to form positive ions, while the sulfate ion carries a negative charge, facilitating the formation of these ionic interactions. Additionally, there may be some covalent character in the sulfate ion itself, as it consists of covalent bonds between sulfur and oxygen atoms.
