Rubidium

Rubidium is a chemical element; it has symbol Rb and atomic number 37. It is a very soft, whitish-grey solid in the alkali metal group, similar to potassium and caesium. Rubidium is the first alkali metal in the group to have a density higher than water. On Earth, natural rubidium comprises two isotopes: 72% is a stable isotope, 85Rb, and 28% is the slightly radioactive 87Rb, with a half-life of 48.8 billion years – more than three times as long as the estimated age of the universe Wikipedia
