Rubidium and Cesium in water

[mariostar22]

@Ryanlauph, I thought that too, but I think that there are actually 2 spellings, Cesium and Caesium.

[rayandreina]

Archie Andrews (upon discovering that it was cesium that he dropped into the water by mistake): "Oops!"

[BryanzOwner]

POWDER TOY!

[starlaeuropa]

This is an old video made by the Open University.

[rayandreina]

Cesium in water -- sounds like something Archie Andrews would do, thus blowing up the Riverdale High chem lab... (LOL!)

[fortysevenprops]

Yo dog, I herd u liek chemistry videos, so I put a chemistry video in a chemistry video so you can wonder why the fuck someone would do that.

[Baconator1228]

I remember watching this in science class about 7 years ago

[nosmaroone]

Where could u get cesium?

[ms63129]

For those saying that cesium is radioactive, naturally occurring cesium (entirely cesium-133, which is the only kind you'll see in demonstrations like this) is not radioactive, only the kind produced in nuclear reactors (cesium-134 and 137) is. It isn't even that toxic either (as a salt), about the same as sodium or potassium even though it isn't biologically active.

[KurioseKreatur]

Oh wow, I totally watched this exact video in high school like 10 years ago.

[puffpet]

Isn't that just a video...

[Ryanlauph]

Isn't it Caesium? Or are there two different spellings?

[TheSmartone08]

@Ryanlauph Same thing I just think someone where else started spelling it like that and it caught on.

[IloveyouLenaKatina]

Today: experiment. Tomorrow: cancer. Science is fun!

[IloveyouLenaKatina]

How not to put out the fire in your earthquake-damaged nuclear power plant: Japan = "oops"



[IloveyouLenaKatina]

And they say not to pour water on a grease fire...

[BearStr1ke]

Sp now, lets take a look at the next metal Cesium... OH CRAP!

[tommyfromthebuilding]

so you decided to make a video of a video?

[ichundichundduunder]

@tommyfromthebuilding i am going to make a video of this guy showing a video of what happens when a random guy puts Rubidium and Cesium in water with even poorer quality.

[MrZachywack]

@tommyfromthebuilding its from a tv program obout element i know cuz i watched it science class yesterday

[Payne2109]

@stevenmorookian16 Caesium (caesium-133) is not radioactive

[MultiCerebrum]

Do you know that Cesium is radioactive ? So it is beautiful, funny and very dangerous... with gamma ray (Cesium 137 isotope !)

[thenurispunk]

this is amazing. really.

[stevenmorookian16]

HAHAHA playing with radioactivity.

[mastershake589]

Utter fucking goof if you ask me

[uturniaphobic]

and I thought cats hated water...wow!

[badback22]

Is this pure water or chlorinated tap water? Does it make a difference? Thx for post

[freya216ify]

@badback22 Normally people use distilled water, so yeah pure water

[greenorange75]

Try francium!

[limefrog77]

@greenorange75 would prolly be wicked, but so far they have not even enough francium atoms in one place to determin some of its basic qualities..... it should be a resounding thundering fart but just a few atoms would just give a pathetic pfffffft

[giggity369]

ooooooooh

[lakelful]

witchcraft....i would burn that guy at the stake.

[COD4Mixer]

"Lets look at Rubidium!" SHAZAAM! "Whoooaa!"

[Myrddin1975]

Just a small point but if we are talking about "good" sized reactions then while Cs in water is good (we will forget Fr because of the radioactivity thing) We just need to look at the periodic table. Theoretically the alkali metals should have the strongest reactions with the Halide group. and the higher up the group the better. therefore. you want some fun. then Cs with Flouring gas (F) would be a sight to behold

[firebomb37]

I saw that the glass bowl exploded

[jasonchuu]

im getting my hands on some cesium XD

[diabeticwaffle1]

That's great for you I guess... I never asked but ok. Do you really think I was serious?

[DarknessRexa]

@ diabeticwaffle1

there can only be 30grams of francium at a time on earth

[sfdrf]

@DarknessRexa not even that much dude.. its something like 17 molecules of it they predict....

[diabeticwaffle1]

1000lbs of Francium and drop it in the ocean lol that would give me a boner... Ah

[fulatl111]

@diabeticwaffle1 if only....you could never find that amount of francium cos theres hardly any of it on earth and francium only lasts for a few seconds before it combines with other stuff in air

[spike0804]

@fulatl111 not quite right but...close enough

[KevinBishop95]

where the hell do they get these? My science teacher demonstrated this today with Li, Na and K. Rubidium and Cesium are suppose to be really hard to get a hold of! Lets not get into Francium!

[silverleaf81]

@KevinBishop95 Francium is so hard to get, because it is so radioactive that it lasts for less then a day! I think its maximum half life is 25 mins!

[AlChemicalLife]

@KevinBishop95 Li ,NA, K Rubidium and Cesium are not hard to get its just expensive take it from some 1 who has bought these but thay where samples so thay where cheaper then buying them in larg amounts i have .1g of rubidium .1g cesium 3g of sodium 3g of potassium and 30g of lithium wittch i got from lithium batireys

sory for the bad spelling

[dranzerbeyblader]

that is not his video:(

[jbmario1]

Put it in a Swimming pool? LETS ALL GET IN! :D

[screenON14]

yeah francium boom! >:D

[thehantavirus]

they should try francium

[mysanityfading]

oooooOOOooooooo i got that answer wrong on the test, dang

[1234REEB1234]

BANG!...OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHH

[tommyfrogy]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooh

[MadSupra354]

I watched this vid in science xP

[thatisfunnyveryfunny]

@MadSupra354 LMAOO, same here, recognized the explosion at the end LOL

[zhmichael]

lmao

[xenomann442]

why is any of this stuff legal? a terrorist could strap a bunch of cesium to himself and run into a public swimming pool...

[L4DFever]

@xenomann442 Because Cesium is way too expensive. Its about $125 for a bullet size amount. Which is insane.I guarantee you five of them wont kill anybody. Probably would injury the person holding it but he would still live so its a waste of $625. Plus with that amount of money you would have been able to make a more dangerous home made IED or Pipebomb with equal or lesser amount of money needed.

[Davidarmo42415]

oooooo

[megamaa]

dam, whats the next metal in the alkali table

[fattymattyweasel]

@megamaa Francium. Its so reactive its practically impossible to get hold of it.

[megamaa]

@fattymattyweasel now i know why hatsune miku's superfast song Francium is so hard to sing to

[angryprometeus]

@megamaa francium,its nuclear though

[kllr101]

@megamaa Its Francium, but its highly radioactive, and decays to form another element almost instantly

[supergiff8]

@kllr101 Its not radioactive at all. On the other hand, Radium is.

[kllr101]

@supergiff8 Francium is radioactive, as are the elements it decays into.

[canadain75]

@supergiff8 actually it is dumb fuck look at ur periodic table then talk smart ass.

[supergiff8]

@canadain75 Whats stuck in your ass today, I just realized my periodic table is outdated, asshole.

[ultimatum600]

chuck norris puts that in his cornflakes

[zim831]

@ultimatum600 nope, chuck norris doesn't eat cornflakes, he eat's cesium flakes... WITHOUT ANY MILK

[antifreindly]

@zim831 chuck norris sucks cock. FOR CUM

[Daalchii]

Imagine a bus full of Francium dropped into a lake....

[kebabsallad]

@Daalchii Actually a bus full of Cesium dropped into a lake would be even more violent than a bus of Francium. One might think that francium would be more reactive, but the thing with Francium is that its electrons will accelerate more due to its strong core and somehow get closer to it, thus making the energy released upon losing an electron less than for Cesium!.

Which means less reactive than Cesium :(

[DukeLeto1994]

Now imagine francium in water. If only there was enough francium to drop into water

[pib319]

@DukeLeto1994 if we could do it. It would probably replace the atomic bomb because on top of it being highly reactive, it's also extremely radioactive.

[thenurispunk]

@DukeLeto1994 oh god. that would be epic! but it's like the second rarest element on earth, after astatine. i think it's impossible. in order to find francium, we're gonna need to dig super deep into the earth and find the layer with oil.

[AdditonalPylons]

@DukeLeto1994 Francium is so highly radioactive it would either decay, irradiate the scientiest, or transform into a different element (i believe astatine) through alpah decay. But that would be awesome

[ichwilliphone]

we have to watch this video for homework in chemie (PS: I´m from Germany)

[oXFalconXo]

@ichwilliphone sounds like you watch it in an attempt to get the curiosity out of ya lol

[ecolinkinparkgirl657]

wow thats EPIC!! BOOM!!!!!!!

[xcheesyxbaconx]

Taken from another video. Look up "Open University" It is theirs.

[soldoutrules]

you just copied this video you dush

[syedjaafar]

my schools only test the Li, Na, and K haha

[MasterTonberryV1]

@syedjaafar

Well... That's because Sr, Cs, and Fr (No way, that'd be like about a few-hundred trillion dollars per gram or so.) are just too expensive to buy.

[Nat3500th]

What's after Caesium? I think it's Fr and has an atomic mass of 87. Haha I would like to see how it reacts with water.

[lukequixotesanjose]

@Nat3500th

Francium doesn't exist for that long... but I think someone has told you that. But yeah, if you could manage to get enough of it... that would go pop.

[Nat3500th]

@lukequixotesanjose Mmm hmm I did my research. It's a liquid at room temperature right? I think there are only elements that are not solids at room temp., mercury and francium.

[lukequixotesanjose]

@Nat3500th

Yup... but there is probably only a few grams of it on Earth at any one time. It's got a half life of 22 minutes. So, if I had one gram of it, in 22 minutes I would have 0.5g of, in 44 minutes 0.25g of it, in 66 minutes, 0.125g... etc. SO yes, it woould make a big pop, but you'd never get enough of it to see it. :)

[Nat3500th]

@lukequixotesanjose Hmmm... I wonder whether there'll come a time where people discover how to remake elements, then remake francium in great amounts.

[lukequixotesanjose]

@Nat3500th

We can make elements by nuclear reactions now, but only in small amounts... but yes, I hope there comes a day when we can make a ton of francium and chuck it in a pool. Have you see the brainiac video with alkali metals... it is cool.

[Nat3500th]

@lukequixotesanjose Woah...that's crazy(in a good way). Nope, but I probably will check it out. Chemistry, bio and physics FTW.

[Myrddin1975]

@Nat3500th No Francium is solid. Mercury is the only metal liquid at room temp (assuming 21degrees but Ceasium is pretty close. Some Cs in a test tube held in the hand will melt because of the heat of your hand

[DanRaccoon]

BOOM! haha :)

[tantalides]

francium in water

[Thekilldevilhill]

@tantalides too bad its too unstable i bet it would be awsome xD

[NationalTsanggraphic]

@tantalides Francium doesnt really exist for more than 4 minutes. You could extract francium atoms but by the time u've finished, theyd turn into something else

[nekonaru16]

@NationalTsanggraphic Francium has a half-life 22 minutes, and at any given time there's probably only about 7 grams in existance so finding will be harder than extracting the damn stuff. It would be an awesome reaction to watch though

[tantalides]

woooooh!

lol

[benxr2006]

i like the british guy more

[TrySomeMusic]

@benxr2006 einstein guy?

[scorpion779946]

@benxr2006 poliakoff?

[ihategeorgedubyabush]

@benxr2006 the british one was fake

[dragondeth48]

@benxr2006 Oh my god you just made my day with that... xD You saw the video too?

[Kingnold]

@benxr2006 yeah, but the video of brainiac is a fake. if caesium is encapsulated, it sinks to the bottom, and there would only be hydrogen gas on the surface, not being able to explode (bc the caesium is on the bottom and cant ignite the gas). it would really be not as explosive.

[Bodca1]

@benxr2006 british sucks

[devilmasterex]

stolen vid lol but okay.

[Kzook]

Cesium. Just add water.

[AzzyTay]

Imagine throwing a piece of cesium in your mouth..you would have no toung to cheeks no teeth no gums, nothing.

[gehtomacgyver]

lol i thought the same thing

[commentaryisgood]

that's fucking epic

[budlylife2]

@gerysc

you know how Calcium and Potassium react in water? (they burn) the same reaction happens with cesium and water except much faster and more violent. It has enough energy to shatter the glass... High school elementary chemistry...although I would love to do this experiment and have you standing right there if you don't think it works ^_^

[gehtomacgyver]

what ? how does someone think that ? some people are ignorant.

[allaround02]

it would be a bloody mess :P all that glass in someone's body would not be a pleasure :P

[gehtomacgyver]

ouch yeah that would suck on a whole new level

[laqerhill]

huge cd = laserdisc

[AzzyTay]

lol

[kyletheman308]

i watched it on a huge cd to it was like a laser cd or something

[froses14]

Dude, me too. It's what came between VHS and CD's. Saw it in chemistry class.

[blobloblo6]

Err, an exploding glass bowl due to a reactive alkali metal isn't a camera trick. Did you take chemistry yet?

[blobloblo6]

Nevermind...

[Stonedbrownguy]

how does this video of another video have more views than the actual video that shows cesium in water???

[SilenKillaz]

@Stonedbrownguy we cant find the actual video =/

[BlueMonkeyGuy]

@Stonedbrownguy this was posted 2 years before the "original" video

[fattymattyweasel]

@Stonedbrownguy Were is the original video

[72EDELWEISS72]

vive le feu! vive le feu! vive le feu c'est beau !

[benxr2006]

we watched that in chemestry class on a freankin huge CD

[Pianodrum95]

Our chemie teacher told us that he had done it with an other class and there it had happened the same (cäsium)! xD

[bjuszczak6]

We got 2 grams in school (science)

[wowmaniac112]

the first one WAS rubidium we did it in school potassium has less of a sizzle explosion-ish

[YouthsCorruption]

You Don't Spell It Like That, Its Caesium

[Acrimonator]

Depends on your native tongue... :D

[samn100]

There are 2 ways to spell it.

[Robertz1986]

Caesium vs. Cesium is British v. American spelling, much like Sulpher v. Sulfer (which America uses the traditional Latin spelling, but we both pronounce it with an F sound, even though the Latin was not Greek borrowed and thus is shouldn't actually be an F in any case, but hey...)

[lordofengmar]

@Robertz1986 sulfur. not sulfer

[Robertz1986]

Indeed, lol

[RJTVChannel]

Well, it is actually Sulphur and Sulfur

[Robertz1986]

Aluminium v. Aluminum in America... a lot of chemicals are spelled differently between the two nations apparently.

[richbaseball]

the first one was potassium

[Xiller619]

daaaang

[timelordcreation]

aaw no frankium

[RyanTaylorrz]

Thats cos francium only exists for a milli-milli-millisecound

[elouephaley]

Cesium has issues lol

[MarshmelloMuffin]

Our teacher showed us this in class today, GO MR. WEEDON! ;D

[TheSockFilms]

"OOOOOOHHHHH"

Lol

[thephantomfx]

lol i watched that in honors chem

but the weird thing is that i am in 8th grade how strange......

[adsensus]

Being a nerd is weird?

[thephantomfx]

I dont give a shit if i am a nerd who freakin cares

[adsensus]

Haha, embrace it. It can make you a shit ton of money if you are motivated. Nerd taking here.

[thephantomfx]

Thanks i keep that shit in mind.

[utfishman182]

hey, nerds do get the girls when they oull up in a lamborghini

[plateofshrimp]

Expensive cars are good for getting guys, not girls.

[lantern2334]

thephantomfx is a fag

[0ldcheez]

SketchaPanda u don't know what your talking about. Francium is so rare that there's only a few grams of it in the ENTIRE universe.

[marshalljpayer]

don't overdue urself, how do u know there isn't francium on different planets/asteroids millions of lightyears away? there's only 20-30 g in the world

[SpitsBeaTz]

there is francium on earth dude, just too rare and too reactive to exist as an uncombined element state. It's also the 2nd rarest element in nature, right after astatine.

[jagemobe]

i think technetium is the rarest.

[Soneclipseredvblue]

Because it's super unstable.

Obviously you don't understand what a nuclear half-life is.

[Samuelwong5]

There might be francium but it would be useless if its so far away... It has the SHORTEST half life of all natural occuring elements... 22 minutes max. Can you come to earth in 22 minutes from a planet millions of lightyears away?

[Spyez]

@Samuelwong5

Astatine has the shortest half life, below 5 minutes.

[Acrimonator]

Like saying it's inexistant... ^^

[lordbrightbladew]

while i do belive there is not much francium to play around with and i would love to think that there was but really there is no way that you actually got any francium because the people who do have it guard it like their life savings

[SketchPanda]

actually.. Its impossible to obtain Francium for long enough to test it in Water, its created during a chemical Reaction but it then changes its structures into a non alkali metal. This happens so fast its impossible to put Francium in water to test it. :)

[bluecobalt27]

Its half life is so short you there is no way you could 'guard it', let alone find it, because within a half an hour it would essentially be all gone.

[siu00gas]

Your very wrong, seen it ;) done it ;) teach it ;)

Adios.

[jasenandstuff]

lol dude that was the same video we watched in chem!

[PremusRed]

lol I know! i saw this same video 5 years ago in chem class.

[sdpgposd]

haha ye

[jody4403363881]

Cesium + Hydroflouric?

[InfallableSkizz]

i concur

[konman001]

All of these guys are dropping Cesium into water. . . but why not go a step further and drop it into some acid - say 18 molar sulfuric acid. . . and then watch the explosion.

[runescapeo0o0]

lol it'd be far too dangerous....it'll porabaly blow up the camera too

[mutinykickass]

just imagine 5 tons of francium in the middle of the atlantic, i think th world wouldn't exist

[konman001]

well - if there was enough of francium and you did that then you`d certainly have a nice explosion . . . but then again releasing all that HIGHLY redioactive francium (more radioactive than plutonium) in the environment and having it become part of our water supply and probably atmosphere would most certainly spell a certain doom for many of us.

[Darwinpasta]

Good luck actually finding the francium in the first place. The largest amount ever isolated was 10,000 atoms worth, and there is about an ounce of it in the earth's crust. In the entire crust. Its half life is something like twenty minutes. Even if was possible to get however many tons of francium in one place, it wouldn't last very long.

[konman001]

I know - but I what I was saying was what if there was enough...

[ScrewedOnBackwards]

cool
