Yes, rubidium does tarnish when exposed to air due to its high reactivity with oxygen. It forms a dull oxide layer on its surface.
Rubidium , like sodium and potassium, is a Group (I) metallic element. Like sodium and potassium, it has only ONE valence electron, which it readily ionisses to become Rb^(+) cation. Because it is further down the Group(I) it is more reactive than sodium or potassium, by that one electron ionising off extremely quickly, when reacting with water to liberate hydrogen , which in turn because of the energy release , the hydrogen ignites , with a violent bang. If in an experiment, have the largest tank of water possible , the smallest (pin head sized), pellet of rubidium, a glass-screen, and preferably outdoors. Drop, using tongs, the pellet into the water from behind the screen, and it will instantaneously bang.
When carbon reacts with air (specifically oxygen), it forms carbon dioxide (CO2).
how is the reactivity for ptassium
Rubidium (Rb) can react with many things such as hydrogen because rubidium has one spare electron 2, 8, 18, 8, 1 and hydrogen has only one outer electron so hydrogen in water will reactvigorously with rubidium as hydrogen is desperate to gain one electron and rubidium is desperate to lose one electron and when these bond they form an ion.

Tarnish.
It evaporates :)
