Rubidium metal is a white substance with a silvery tint that can be used in the nuclear industry, the electronic field, medicine, special optics and catalysis. Metal is distinguished by paramagnetic and the ability to form various types of salts, most of which belong to the category of readily soluble. All this determines the possibility of adding it to various compounds in order to give them certain properties and characteristics.

German chemists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff discovered rubidium in 1861 by the newly developed technique, flame spectroscopy. The name comes from the Latin word rubidus, meaning deep red, the color of its emission spectrum. Rubidium’s compounds have various chemical and electronic applications.
