Alkali metals in water ( Not the braniac version )

[Andy061095]

1:16 DAYM!!!!

[inademv]

too bad those aren't rubidium or cesium.

[efferize]

Where can an average guy get some Rubidium? This is freaking bananas! Seriously though, can someone tell me of a website where I can purchase Rubidium?

[teddychenghonlam]

Where's Francium?!!

[madandyb]

@teddychenghonlam It's radiologically unstable - most stable isotope has a half-life of only 20 minutes!

[mrmunchie65]

1:12 is the best

[GTHaroFITBMX]

cesium HOLY S**T

[ELEMENTALxNZ]

what is the ion that gets released when the alkali metals react with water?

[AssassinOfTrolls]

@ELEMENTALxNZ I Think hydrogen is being released

[Angelofrainbows101]

@AssassinOfTrolls thats because it is

[N4Z1M]

very nice :)

[TheBrettHughes]

I'll take 20lbs of the last one to go.

セシウム怖すぎワロタｗｗ

[pong5551]

Virtual high school wuddup!

[CertifiedBad4ss]

Your first 3 metals are either very impure or in very small quantities.

Lithium will ignite on its own, and sodium will explode.

I know because I've used them myself.

[WWEJeffHardyftw]

@777uratza and also it's too small and VERY unstable. Particle accelerators can only produce so much.

[WWEJeffHardyftw]

@77uratza lmao dude francium is so radioactive that only about 5 ounces of it exist on earth at one time it's nearly impossible to get and also its so radioactive that even being within a mile of it when it explodes could cause you serious damage. I doubt any1 is gonna use it in a vid they did at home lol

[alphamone]

@WWEJeffHardyftw

not to mention it would decay before you could get it to water.

[automaticSOM]

@WWEJeffHardyftw

"When it explodes" , I'm sure you mean, when it decays. Radioactive Isotopes dont just explode on their own.

[Overkillifyable]

I want some caesium

[celery88]

セシウムの水に対する反応の危険性を実感できます。

今、正に日本で進めようとしているセシウムの除染。

しかし、除染の繰り返しによる汚染土などの高濃度化にはよっては­、爆発の危険が潜んでいるのではないでしょうか。日本の科学者達­は知ってるはずだよね。声を上げて欲しい。

何か起きる前に手を打とう。

[777uratza]

what about Francium (Fr)  :O

it should b like gernade

[MozartJunior22]

Potassium noise FTW

[Wibbl]

what about francium? :D:D:D

[Footbal72]

@Wibbl Francium Kinda makes big boom lmao

[olegario39]

@Footbal72 also its too small and too unstable

[ManlySlut]

Anyone see the Caesium was quite a blueish colour?

[chemnuke]

Too bad this isn't in higher res.

[Soetman]

0:10 was that a pencil ??? o0

[rupenne11994]

potasium sounds so cool

[SampMovies112]

rofl! :))) pfiuuuuuuuuuuuu

[123123123317]

caesium....  :)

[123123123317]

match....  POOM

[Gabija00]

How to download this video?

[PinkFloydShirt]

@Gabija00 type youtube downloader ,download it and do it

[morgsXD]

我做了這個在現實生活中



[truchowski]

wow why dosen't any video do francium :(

[bloodtrack12]

@truchowski Because Francium is insanely hard to obtain and hardly ever is found in a natural occuring area, it is also a very radioactive metal.

So asking why a probably average scientist or chemist, why he doesn't do Francium is illogical.

[endimion17]

@bloodtrack12 No. It's because its length of halflife is around 28 minutes. They made only a handful of atoms in particle accelerators. No one has ever seen a macroscopic sample.

[chaosloki92]

hi RP students

[Octopus941]

Its Cesium, not Caesium.

[benderbrau81]

@Octopus941 No. Caesium is also the accepted spelling

[Jacktaru]

potassium goes pew pew pew pew

[miqjam]

セシウム激しすぎｗｗｗ

[VegitoBlitz24]

It just blew up in the end...

[1992ssk]

Whats the fellow Japanese writing? write in English is fuckn Japanese.:p 

[lugiadoom]

@1992ssk He said when he was at high school he had heard that someone threw fist-size sodium into the pool and it created a 10-metre high waterspout. He thinks the chemical reaction is damn scary.

And please don't insult people of other races.

[hanatama2011]

高校の時こぶし大のナトリウムをプールに入れたら１０メートルぐ­らいの水柱が上がると聞いたことがあるけどアルカリ金属の化学反­応って怖い

[blackatron666]

30 people are gonna get blown up by caesium...

[freakshowboy9]

the last one was bad ass



[nekoren96]

・・・福島の爆発映像と酷似している＠＠；

本当にあれは水素の爆発だったのか…

[hermann0724]

1:11 Damn, Japan is fucked up!

[FD3SNA2]

セシウムの威力、半端ねぇ!!

[vasdrfas]

セシウム自重ｗｗｗ



[CheeseBurger1234243]

The last two were from an experiment on the internet.

[ARCANEmateCLAN]

I <3 FRANCIUM

[duniastaa]

Potassium sounds sweet

[bookworm260194]

Lol xD

[braunDV]

Oh OWwo wud da ENDER Doude

[canibalizm100]

lol caecium was the coolest

[OtakuOtaku39]

i want some of that Caesium  8D

[hermann0724]

@OtakuOtaku39 You've got achieved your dream! Congrats!

[OtakuOtaku39]

@hermann0724 8D YAYZ!

[yossiyi]

セシウム・・・相当だな・・・

[TheJimAubrey]

@yossiyi I agree. :D

[theman2160]

you are all dumb Fr only exisits for 26minutes MAX due to its radioactivity so no one has ever made any in quantity its said that only 3grames exist on earth at a time and it can't be made by man so forget it know what you say before you say it

[CoRkSkr3w]

LOL whistle at the end ftw

[firecall2785]

my science teacher, mr chong, showed us dis heeees super awesome for that......my fav is francium

[Steffennnnnnn]

Caesium rox hahaha

[melnadiacillian]

right you can clean your pants and clean the mess up before your mom gets home

[Ayman170Turbostar]

OMG! THE CAESIUM BROKE THE GLASS LOL!

[codplaya50]

lol even .1 g of francium would blow ur bedrooms up

[thegodofhellfire999]

Theoretically, element 119 would be an alkali metal. If we could make enough francium (so far physicists have managed to make about 1 cubic millimetre) we could react it with water, and we would get a seriously awesome reaction.

But just imagine element 119... It would probably set on fire before you even shoved it in the water!!! And if it didn't, you would get a water DETONATION!!!!!

[RectalSpoonNinja]

@thegodofhellfire999 Only problem is, element 119 would have a half-life of a few microseconds, so good luck getting it to react before it has decayed.

[fallflies]

haha 

[ScuxItUp]

Aaw his tray brokeded :(

[MadSupra354]

Potassium sounded like some cartoon noise, and then ironically moves around like Pong

[boilingsnow2011]

I'd say that if you could obtain Francium, you'd better write your will and advise about a dozen houses either side of you that they could sustain some damage. Don't forget to turn off the gas, water and electricity before you begin. Finally, don't forget to let us know what the earth looks like from the moon. :D

[oblivionfallout3]

caesium will fuck up ur day

[theghostkid17]

ceasium is pawned all the chemistry noob..BOOOOOMMM

[hope518]

lol that was finny

[smrgeog]

Was it actually sodium? The flame appears a bit red.

[RazorRabidz]

Sodium was like a cat screaming and trying to get out of the water XD

[akathasamurai]

And where might one acquire these six alkali metals in their raw form???

[pkhamidar2com]

what about francium!?, lol caesium was awesome!

[Letti126]

Hmm, theres all them calm pretty reactions, then theres Caesium thats just like BAM!

[jeffxu1234567890]

yah added too much caesium lol, thats one big chunk, but the effect is still cool

[mostafa50500]

LOL at 1:14

[UrbanWarfareMiami]

lol @ Caesium

[D4vsto]

PWND

[ed200895]

haha i wish we could do same shit in school lol, cesium is funny!

[MyTzaPK]

caesium is fucking awesome !!!

[countryman434]

@Letti126 so did i

[Reqrezentin]

WHERE'S FRANCIUM?!

[SkyphTH]

@Reqrezentin francium has a half life of 12 minutes. it's hard enough to get a visible amount of it. plus the radiation from it might kill you. so yeah, kinda hard to get it to blow up lmao

[gaswerti]

@SkyphTH the radiation from francium is not very dangerous in short term but it could kill u

[sexybeast619619619]

OMG 1:14 EPIC!

[TeslaCoilArbiter]

we put 5 or 10 grams of potassium into the water bath at school and it exploded on us, burning potassium isnt fun when its on your clothes.

[TheNuclearWatermelon]

i wanna see francium but there seems to be no videos of it

[areodynamic1]

@TheNuclearWatermelon because it is rare, radioactive and absolutely destructive

[jalvizz]

@TheNuclearWatermelon  because it has a half-life of 12 minutes in its longest lived version, is extremely radioavtive and no "weighable" quantity of it has ever been studied

[apard7]

potassium= poi! poi! poi! poi! poi! crackle poi! ... POI POI POI POI crackle POI!

[darinFC]

WOW

[dgraymanrabi722]

セシウムスゲーwww

[GunnerGreenway]

omg put francium in tear that shit up!

[spinjector]

Just once, please, can we see this demo in a STEEL BUCKET instead of a cheesy brittle untempered glass bowl..???

[ecolinkinparkgirl657]

fucking awesome!!! explosions are funnnnnnnnnnnnnnn to watch :D

[twinkleshy]

lol,the lastest too crazy

[Bobby25ification]

what the fuck they put this in op 100% whey from gnc

[jeffxu1234567890]

that was WAY too much caesium

[Vmac1394]

There's just something so entertaining about watching somebody like a piece of metal in water on fire.

[Maphysto]

Damn.

Caesium doesn't mess around.

[ThatKazGuy]

Regarding the "DO FRANCIUM" comments:

Fr explodes on its own! Any visible amount would get up on the table and shout at you in the form of intense, probably blue, "Cherenkov radiation" light. Exploded francium should turn into a haze of glowing smoke that corrodes glass out of sheer basicity, and so radioactive that it sparks fires on anything it touches and sterilizes everything, leaving the lab a mess of rubble with shreds of things that may or may not have been alive at some point.

Awesome.

[endimion17]

@ThatKazGuy I believe it's enough to say that it is impossible to obtain even a microscopic ammount of it, because half-life of its longest living isotope is 22 min, and only about 10000 atoms have been grouped so far.

But then again, there's no point of saying this to these morons. It's much easier just to laugh at their ignorant pyro-comments that feed on videos named "francium" and showing famous nuclear explosions they're unaware of because of their sheer stupidity. Rant over. :)

[best1089]

@endimion17 It's said that at any given time, if I remember correctly, there are only about 10-15 grams of the stuff in the entire planet.

[skivinsimon]

@ThatKazGuy you have forgotten the fact that it is illegal to buy it as it is radioactive and if you use it you have to wear one of those radiation suits

[blakesquakers]

@ThatKazGuy Indeed.. It would be able to be contained... it'd probably even react with the noble gasses..

[iToasterman]

@ThatKazGuy Who the hell wut want to play with Fr!! ._. doesn't it radioactively decompose anything it contacts?

[TheJimAubrey]

@ThatKazGuy zOMFG IMA DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[smitony2]

@AjDeal825 i have to agree that theres loads of stuff that man had done it the last centuary and its really hard to keep up but it would be pretty sweet to see francium in water that would be epic

[smitony2]

@AjDeal825 that would be hard cos only 2 pounds of it exists on earth at any 1 time and it only has a half life of 21 mins

[meatisdeliciouse]

Ah crap what a silly thing to say, the matel was magnusium, DOH!

[meatisdeliciouse]

Why is it in some videos LI reacts verry slowly, amn ij others it fizzes like soda?

[meatisdeliciouse]

Just dont get it on your skin, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOO

[goatmilk222]

think if you had a piece of that last one the size of a basketball:D

[Flippymoose01]

Why is it that lithium and sodium favor being at the edge of the container?

[WhynotMiha]

@Flippymoose01 because the surface of a water container is very slightly hill-like :)

[MrPoghii]

No francium? Ofcourse no francium, learn you physics, the half-life of Francium is 20 minutes, above of that it is really radio-active.

[CoolDudeClem]

I remember these being demostrated in sceince class back when i was in school, no wonder caesium's reaction wasn't demonstrated in the schools lab, bloody hell!

[Hpraetzel]

what? no Francium?! i am dissapoint D:

[BlockisticStudios]

@Hpraetzel

Try and find any francium to explode on this planet.

[oromisszane]

lol @ cesium

[MissMysterics]

Who'd of thought you could makes something combust by applying water?

[BenAranMetroidkiller]

i dont want cesium in my cornflakes. seriously.

[Ayman170Turbostar]

OMG! That was awesome! How did you get Rb and Cs?

[ball44ball]

FAKE!!! Probably edited.

[bnnyyan]

@ball44ball

Dumbass...

[SHITTYBOYBOY]

francium + water = 0 divided by 0

[FissionNonStop]

looks fake & gay

[shinenjukikuri]

@FissionNonStop Have you been watching too much RWJ? Go back to your textbooks.

[chapikachu]

@FissionNonStop dude u fail ur chemistry

[hitmanguy345]

francium in water = win :P

[neuralshock7]

I wonder what francium would look like...

[KC9QII]

cool vid but you spelled cesium wrong

[radsportz39]

@KC9QII cesium can be spelled in many different ways. look it up.

[MasterchiefMistry]

I was asked the question 'why do alkali metal seem to melt when they are added to water'. Is the answer that they are changing into a metal hydroxide as they react with water?

[bruteinazootsuit]

@MasterchiefMistry Yes, as the alkali metals mix with water, they release Hydrogen gas, that's why the Lithium and Sodium ignited when they put a match to it... but Hydrogen is dangerously unstable in large amounts. That's why Caesium creates such a big explosion - it can't release its hydrogen quickly enough to simply ignite.

[thecannonball34]

isn' rubidium an actinide?

[pinkmints]

my science teacher showed us this

[oOoKillaSnakeoOo]

@pinkmints ur not allowed rubidium or cesium in skls ??

[JCubedProduction]

LOL potassium sounds awesome

[krat876]

XD i loved the sound of potassium ! XDD

poichssss poof ! hahahaha

kinda reminds me of The Legend of Zeldaa :D

[thecannonball34]

@krat876 omfg me too!

[ultrachemist13]

you copied it from somewhere where i have seen it!!!

[nemesisvsibris]

wow !!!

[crackerjacker6]

i like how much cesium he puts in haha

every else is a tiny amount yet he throws in a 10x bigger piece of rubidium

[ItsPrincess25]

uhm, is there any way you can send this video to me? i'll give you my email. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

[velvetrevolver94]

I stuck a piece of francium in my asshole..

[ronsiew]

@velvetrevolver94

LOL, that's almost impossible, there's only 30g of francium on earth and is almost impossible to find.

[MasterchiefMistry]

@ronsiew is it possible to 'make' Francium through Nuclear Fusion?

[Thekilldevilhill]

@MasterchiefMistry its too unstable to make an explosion with water. Thugh it would be awsome xd.

[Balek99]

fuck

[Letti126]

watched this in science :D

[htgnef]

@Letti126 Same.

[TheSleeperer]

Ok i dont get it ... o mithbusters they used cesium but it didn't do as much damage as here ... still this is way smaler than the one in the Brainac story...

[BalshaGajin]

this is allot smaller amount of water and the 'bowl' is made from glass, mythbusters used a toilet :)

I think this is real

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

brainiac fixed it with extra explosives

[MasterchiefMistry]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD actually, the explosives seemed more powerful in Brainiac because they could fully submerge the alkali metal so that it reacted in the water and not just on the surface.
