German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff discovered rubidium in 1861 by the newly developed method of flame spectroscopy
Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff through flame spectroscopy. Flame spectroscopy involve taking the substance to be analzed, coating a wire in it, and holding the wire inside of the flame of a Bunsen Burner (guess who invented this! See above). The color of the flame is then recorded.
What else can I help you with?
Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?
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.
What period is rubidium found?
Rb is found in the 5th period. It is in the s block.
What is the name of RbClO3?
Rubidium hypochlorite is the name for this chemical formula.
What is the word equation for rubidium and chlorine?
The word equation for rubidium and chlorine is: rubidium + chlorine -> rubidium chloride.
What period is the element rb in the periodic table?
Rb is the symbol for the element, rubidium.
Is rubidium in any household objects?
No, rubidium is not found in household objects.
Where was rubidium found at?
in coal is it really found in coal?
Were could rubidium currently be found?
Today, most rubidium is produced as a byproduct of the lithium refinement process. Rubidium was originally found in 1861 when Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff analyzed lepidolite.
What is rubidium made of?
Rubidium is a chemical element with the symbol Rb and atomic number 37. It is a soft, silvery-white metal that belongs to the alkali metal group of the periodic table. Rubidium is usually found in minerals like lepidolite and pollucite.
Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?

What was the most recent element found in the periodic table and when was it discovered?
rubidium 1957
Where can you find the element rubidium on earth?
Rubidium, being a very reactive metal, occurs naturally only in ionic compounds. It can be found in trace amounts of a lot of silicates. The three that most commonly contain small amounts of rubidium are pollucite, leucite, and zinnwaldite.
What is the word equation for rubidium and chlorine?
The word equation for rubidium and chlorine is: rubidium + chlorine -> rubidium chloride.
What period is the element rb in the periodic table?
Rb is the symbol for the element, rubidium.
What is the formula and name for Rb O?
No such chemical as 'Rb O'. The nearest is Rb2O , which is Rubidium oxide.
