I react violently with water
just like my other friends from group one
I oxidize so easily
I ignite the resulting hydrogen
2nd most electropositive
of the alkaline elements
polarizing Helium for neutron polarization measurements

Rubidium I burn bright ruby red in a flame
It's not very creative but that's how I got my name
I'm the resonant element in atomic clocks
and when I burn in oxygen i form a superox - ide

vapor turbines, vacuum tubes, photocell component
I'll amalgamate with mercury in a rubidium moment
Gold, Caesium, Sodium, Potassium all form alloys with me
but i'm used for research and development primarily

Rubidium I burn bright ruby red in a flame
It's not very creative but that's how I got my name
I'm the resonant element in atomic clocks
and when I burn in oxygen i form a superox - ide
