Nerve Repair. Injuries to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and the lingual nerve are relatively uncommon events. However, there are certain routine surgical and non-surgical procedures that have the potential, albeit small, for injuring these neural structures.
Rubidium hydroxide is a chemical compound. It is composed of rubidium and hydroxide ions. Its chemical formula is RbOH. It is a very strong base. It can eat through glass. It is made by dissolving rubidium oxide in water. It causes immediate burns to the skin.
3 OVERVIEW Rubidium is a soft, ductile, silvery-white metal that melts at 39.3 o 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.ESCRIPTION Rubidium is a silvery-white metal, soft, ductile, and, with a melting point of only 39.3 o C, liquid at elevated ambient temperatures. It is one of the alkali metals, atomic number 37, atomic weight 85.47, and electron configuration [Kr]5s 1 and is located in period 5, group 1 (or IA) of the periodic table.
