2022: ☢️ Ionization Energy of Rubidium (Rb) [& State, Uses, Discovery ...

Atoms like Rubidium may lose electrons, which in turn require ionization energy. Ok but how much ionization is required for an atom of Rb?

Note: Learn more about ionization energy here.

In the case of Rubidium the first ionization energy is 403.0 kilojoules per mole. Now let me show you some cool facts about Rubidium:

Description

Soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal.

Atomic Symbol

Rb

Name Origin

Latin: rubidus (deep red); the color its salts impart to flames.

Sources

Occurs abundantly, but so widespread that production is limited. Usually obtained from lithium production.

Discovery

Discovered By: R. Bunsen, G. Kirchoff

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Ionization Energy of Rubidium (Rb) [& State, Uses, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
