  1. RbRubidium Rubidium is a sure fire way to Deal with the geological age. Rafaelito Alvarez

  2. What is Rubidium and when was it discovered? • This here is Rubidium • It was discovered in 1861 by R.W. Bunsen and G. Kirchhoff in Heidelberg, Germany

  3. Rubidium ranks 16 in order of abundance of the elements in Earth’s crust. Occurs in small amounts associated with other alkali metals. Found in small quantities in tea, coffee, tobacco, and other plants.

  4. Detects brain tumors! Research! These are the Common Uses: Rubidium is used for Research, Detecting brain tumors, Absorbing solar energy, Making chemical advances. Chemical Advances! Solar Panels! Available at Creative Chemicals Company

  5. Let’s take a look at the shellstructure of Rubidium

  6. The rate of radioactive decay of the isotope rubidium-87 can be used in geologic age determination. • Let’s look at an example.

  7. Did you know that Rubidium is involved in photocells that is door openers It is also used in coffee, and tea.

  8. An amazing use of rubidium is the creation of the rubidium clock: The rubidium clock has had the advantage of portability, achieving an accuracy of about 1 in 10^12 in a transportable instrument

  9. Let’s take a look at what happens when you mix Rubidium and water. • Solid rubidium is added to a beaker containing water, with phenolphthalein present as an indicator. The equation for the reaction is • 2 Rb(s) + 2 H2O(l) ---> 2 RbOH(aq) + H2(g) • The evolution of a pink color verifies the generation of a base.

  10. So what do you think? Go out, buy some Rubidium. It’s awesome.
