Rubidium and cesium can be used interchangeably in many applications because they have similar physical properties and atomic radii. …

Rubidium salts can be used in antishock agent, antidepressant and the treatment of epilepsy and thyroid disorder. Rubidium is used in electrical-signal …

The extraction rates of lithium, rubidium, and cesium were 90.5%, 91.2%, and 89.4%, respectively, whereas those of aluminum and iron were only 0.08% and 0.02%, respectively. The selective extraction of lithium, rubidium, and cesium was realized, and 90.4% of sulfuric acid could be recycled during the process.

$begingroup$ Block I and early II had 2 ceasium and 2 rubidium, the new ones are all ceasium, there was a set where (IIRC) the two rubidium were removed but only one extra ceasium was fitted . The details are in an answer of mine to another question but I …

Overview -- Rubidium is a soft, ductile, silvery-white metal that melts at 39.3 ?C. One of the alkali metals, it is positioned in group 1 (or IA) of the periodic table between potassium and cesium. Naturally occurring rubidium is slightly radioactive. Rubidium is an extremely reactive metal--it ignites spontaneously in the presence of air and decomposes water …
