253Es so produced was used to produce mendelevium (Element 101) by neutron bombardment. About 3 Âµg of einsteinium has been produced in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratories by: irradiating kilogram quantities of 239Pu in a reactor for several years to produce 242Pu,
Rubidium is used as a getter in vacuum tubes because it combines with and removes trace gases. It is also a component in photocells and has been used in making special glasses. Rubidium has been considered for use in ion engines in space shuttles, because it can be easily ionized.Cesium, however, is more efficient.t is a soft, silvery-white metallic element in the alkali group. [See Periodic Table of the Elements ]. Rubidium is the second-most electropositive and alkaline element. As with other alkali metals, it forms amalgams with mercury and alloys with gold, cesium, sodium and potassium.
