4th of July was crazy! Exploded all over the place.
Had to get oil put on me again so I don't randomly react.. Ugh. I'm just too reactive.. :(
My name comes from rubidus which means "the deepest red".
|
| Overview: |
|
3-5 sentences about the elements. (physical and chemical properties)
I am a soft silvery metal in the alkali metal group.
I am the second most reactive metal.
I react spontaneously in air and water.
When I react with water, it releases hydrogen gas, which catches fire.

2-3 sentences about the elements. (physical and chemical properties)
Physical properties: While being a metal, rubidium is soft and silvery. Rubidium is an alkali metal. Rubidium is the second most reactive metal, cesium being the first. It can't be existent just anywhere because it is EXTREMELY reactive.

| Places: |
|
"check in" with at least three places the element can be found
|
|
Checking in at: Hanging with lepidolite. MY ORE!
Checking in at: Seawater! Loving all the fish :)
Checking in at: Chilling with my buds at the mineral springs. B-)

 Me and water reacting. SMOKE!  Had to get stored in hydrogen this time..
 Potassium and I. Great show!

Why are you so reactive?
Who is more reactive than you?

Rubidium has very low ionization energy so they give up their outer electron very easily. Cesium is more reactive than rubidium.

Rubidium can react violently with other elements and compounds. How is rubidium stored?
Rubidium said

Rubidium is stored under oil so it won't react.

I hear you're violently reacting to water.
