Rubidium
chemical element: Rb
( solid )
Ultra pure sample of the element Rubidium, atomic number 37. ideal for element collectors of those conducting experiments/producing alloys & compounds with pure Rubidium metal. Rubidium is one of the most reactive metals known to man - it will ignite upon exposure to air or water. For protection, our Rubidium samples are sealed in glass ampoules under Argon gas.
Rubidium has been used as a Bose-Einstein condensate and in atomic clocks.
Sealed glass ampules contain either 1 gram or 5 grams of pure Rubidium metal (make choice below).
Caution: Use safety precautions (wear eye protection and gloves) when working with Rubidium metal. Violently/explosively reacts with water and may ignite on contact with air. Causes severe burns on contact with body tissue. Requires an adult signature upon delivery.
