Cesium in water. Aprox 1,5 gram.

[Evilcrushing]

You're retarded to even try this, it's very dangerous.

[TheMechanicalGsss]

wow i want 1

[crazybeautifullife5]

how did you manage to not hurt your arm??

[stevenmorookian16]

jeeze, now your bathroom is contaminated

[Robinqq11]

Thats potasium my friends.

[Octopus941]

@Robinqq11 No, potassium flashes and flames up, then pops.

[TheZBRproductions]

u know its radioactive?

[thezeved]

@TheZBRproductions Caesium 133 (which i suppose was used in the video) is not radioactive :) it's isotopes are. just like C12 is not radioactive but C14 is :)

[05jefcoate]

That looks like you did it in your kitchen!!

[Teankun]

THAT is what the Mythbusters should have used

[soldoutrules]

It would be cool to drop a ton of that in the ocean and just 'sea' what happens

[killerkidstyles]

@soldoutrules ahhhhhhh! i see what this guy did. get out of here, you.

[Ubercloz]

@soldoutrules actually, they did that with francium! :D

[COD4Mixer]

@Ubercloz HA! Silly you.

[liam7morris]

@Ubercloz You cannot use francium as its half life is only a few seconds, there is less than 0.0001grams on the earth at any one time because it is so radioactive

[Ubercloz]

@liam7morris well they did manage to get a francium bomb to test, and no it is not fake, my uncle was one of the scientists working on how to obtain it in a form of the bomb.

[HLiNaKRbCsFrUun]

@Ubercloz

That's about as likely as an Ununoctium-filled baloon. Francium will boil away under it's own radioactivity, and the largest recorded amount ever created was 300,000 molecules, which isn't even visible to the human eye, let alone make a bomb. And it's half life is 22 minutes.

[Ubercloz]

@HLiNaKRbCsFrUun oh i think i might be thinking of something else then

[Aviatorsmith]

@Ubercloz May I know your uncle's full name? I'm sure I would know him in some form or another if he was working on this "francium bomb".

[xxdeano87xx]

All ive ever wondered about this stuff is...

What would happen if a 747 jumbojet made of Caesium crashed into the sea

xD

[xxdeano87xx]

@xxdeano87xx

Or maybe not the sea but contained atleast to protect the environment =]

[Thecanadianpolarbear]

pretty sure that was potassium

[batboibob]

if that was cesium, this video wouldn't exist because you would be dead before you could even run to hide.

[RazorRabidz]

LOL! I can promise you that, that wasn't cesium... And expecially not 1,5 gram.

That was more like sodium..

If u dropped 1,5g cesium into water, it would blow up like a hand grenade.

[thegodofhellfire999]

OK listesn up.

Theoretically, element 119, the next to be synthesised, is an alkali metal. (element 118 is presumed to be a noble gas)

Imagine if scientists get enough of element 119 to drop it in water. Or even better, hydrochloric acid.

CHAOS BEYOND ALL IMAGINATION!!!!!

[inasitny]

@thegodofhellfire999

Ok listen up.

Francium is already too unstable to be isolated.

Element 113 hasnt even been synthesized (i tihnk).

[wesleysidney]

aha now i fund the cesium stoled from the univercity xD

[killerkidstyles]

@wesleysidney CAAALLL THE UNIVERSITY POLICE!

[frown151]

id drop over 9000 pounds of this in the ocean for FUN! :)

[12stringguitarguy]

It isnt hard to get. Just expensive.



[SuperScatha]

Dude did you like steal the Cesium because it would be hard to obtain and it is VERY explosive so i really think u stole it or something lol.

[nextgena]

Hi my to my mate at school it's me prince!!!!!!!

[CHUBBLE117]

some one should do a bullshit clip saying cesium or francium in water and just take a machine gun and shoot at it. that would make me "lol"

[rooseguitar64]

Thats my question...how did you manage obtaining Cesium?

[Picapacapopo]

@rooseguitar64 they sell it at united nuclear. its about 125$ a gram tho.

[jjjpppaaarrrkkk]

awesome

[FinalAnnihilator]

Caesium 1 - Human 0

[AzzyTay]

lol

[dieabigail]

1,5 gramm? What a moron!

[JWBkiller5]

waste of cesium, very poor recording quality. I guess you had'nt used much though based off the reaction.

[wizetapp]

Thanks,I needed this for my Chemistry,

[vershitje]

cant see shit

[twizlrsizlr]

if only u didnt have such bad quality....

[McCreamyBanana]

foolington

[albgk]

explosion plus glass... fun

[redneckostan]

iets go for 1.5 kg d day rockon

[FuronFreak]

Ok guys, I was kidding - and I'm sorry if I upset anyone ..

[hunchy34]

nice :D, try doing it outside in a bigger area with more water and if u could, a more amount, much better explosion heheh

[koragofmagic]

is your ceasium solid?

[jtsports1217]

You really think you'll be able to get your hands on cesium?

[FoxtrotNinja]

have a prior plan as to where to hide the body, this shit is dangerous.

[elherodelaguitara]

Quick Question!

What happens when you combine Francium with Flourine to get Francium Flouride?

The answer

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[klopklop24]

to bad francium only has an halflife time of 22 minuts.

[lorddoug7]

it hasnt even been discovered in its pure form lol

[MrDuckcheese1]

what if you put it in sulphuric acid hummmmmmmmmmm?

[TheMadBalls]

Thats because Francium is radioactive and decomposes. Theres roughly 5 grams in the world at one time.

[MrOxideee]

I cant find a good video of francium reacting eith water ;(

[lorddoug7]

no one in the world has reacted francium with water, it hasnt even been discovered we just no it exists for short amounts of time

[kriegkatse]

Thats not quite true francium has actually been observed, its natural state has been very clearly observed albeit in very very small quantities and never enough to do anything with and there are also two synthetic forms of francium that have been made and observed but they have even shorter half lifes. So Francium definently has been discovered but only about 20 to 30 grams of it exist at any given second on the earths crust and in any given sample there isn't enough to obtain to react w/ water

[gaara62]

and it is radioactive.

[rk6314]

The only radioactive cesium occurs in trace amounts. The most common isotope, Cs133, is stable.

[oTECHNiiQUEo]

daaamn why would you even do that?

[PeterMarkAzzopardi]

I hope you wore ur safety goggles :0

[headlaka]

haha cool, try Fr.. hahaha youll blow your home!

[vitorix24]

Potassium is fine... ceasium its very reactive..... The reaction its about 0.2 secs... potassium its more ;D (sry my inglish)

[LuimmR15]

cesium sucks.

[flashylightsy]

thanks, this really helped me on one chem question

[canadadiabolo]

HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET AHOLD OF THAT :O

[CodeGeassC2]

@canadadiabolo ebay dude ebayyyy :)

[herpdude122]

@canadadiabolo ebay

[alex054739]

@canadadiabolo Mexico

[UpgradedWorld]

@canadadiabolo You can buy it on the intertubes! And you can buy it in 5 gram batches!

[pooppeeyoupants]

@canadadiabolo JUST BUY IT LOL FUNNIEST COMMENT ^.^

[insertoriginaluser]

Dang, now I'm interested in chemistry. It's just sad that a lot of  teachers teach it like it's some boring subject when it's in fact, so... explosively interesting.

[Spastb00n]

Yeah, but unfortunately one wouldn't really learn anything, if the teacher just continously showed cool experiments.

[Soneclipseredvblue]

Actually, here at the University of Madison Wisconsin, one of our professors ONLY does experiments for his class. He doesn't give lectures. He just does the experiment. They are expected to learn the material.

[Spastb00n]

Well, I dunno what you are studying, but I'm studying chemistry, and I must admit, that I'd be freaking pissed off, if all the professor did was show pyrotechnics and cool stuff, and expected us to learn about quantum mechanics and orbital theory all by ourselves.

Thats not really what professors ought to to in my eyes.

[Soneclipseredvblue]

=P Then you should learn how a professor teaches a class before taking it.

His class fills up fairly fast. I thought quantum mechanics / orbital theory was pretty easy.

[RazielKain]

we did orbital theory and quantum mechanics in school

so we did it only like a refresh at the university

[Spastb00n]

Well, it was easy for me so far, but most people kinda don't really get it, and I bet It'd be even harder, if we were to derive all the facts from caesium explosions and splashing water.

Just saying, that ONLY experiments wouldn't be helpful, I don't have anything against experiments to kinda loosen up the atmosphere and attract some interest, as well as to demonstrate dangers.

[jagemobe]

You know how some courses have numbers usually after the course title?There are different levels of classes. A physical science major might take a total of 6 chemistry classes in his/her undergrad career....this stuff would be in the first class, quantum mechanics near the last.

[Spastb00n]

Well, maybe our system over here is a little messed up, but quantum dynamics was pretty much material for the first semester.

Not very in-depth ofc but still.

[jagemobe]

well then you should go on to do great things, if you so choose, since you find easy what nobel laureates have found difficult.

good luck. (p.s. instead of complaining about something u can't change, go read up on everything you can think of concerning the explosion of an alkali - or whatever - how are the electrons interacting with air? Can I predict a theoretical limit for reactivity? Are there any uses for Rubidium that may have been overlooked? U get the point.)

[Mahxirb]

Can someone please put some in acid?

[lolliepop90]

one of the best alkali metals people have in schools is according to my teacher, the most reactive metal in the reactivity series, potassium

[firethrought]

It's actually Fr, Francium.

[ItsAlexOmg]

That isn't francium. Fr is very radioactive, and not to mention on ca.1gram is in existance in any one time, if it was francium, i doubt the camera would have survived.

[6reevesy9]

caesium isnt allowed in schools. potassium is the most reactive allowed.

[Ollievarium]

My school wasn't even allowed Potassium. I'm not surprised anyway - we would've nicked the lot and took it to the river down the road!

[mewmewlunar]

Potassium is the most reactive meatl LEGALLY allowed in schools. The most reactive alkali metal is francium a.k.a Fr

[schroto]

really? haha then our teacher ain't that legal ^^

[Shinray1kuo]

Only problem is that Francium is super rare and extremely unstable, and has a half-life of 22 minutes in its most stable form.

[br1440n]

u cannot have more reactive metals then potassium but if ur in six form then ur allowed Rb

[konman001]

Hmmm....people are dropping these into water. . . why not go all the way and drop it in a batch of 18 molar sulfuric acid.

[TrickDaddyNiCK]

how bout we just drop a few pounds of it into a gallon of hydrobromine!! :D

[rujikin]

I second this movement

[6reevesy9]

because sulfuric acid isnt water lul.

[konman001]

yeah....but that is the whole point. Cesium is highly alkaline and because of that water is like a strong acid to it. Now. . . if you use something on even MORE extreme range (like sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.) then you are bound to get a bigger boom. Of course better protective gear and a safer setup would need to be used because you do not want to get sulfuric or hydrochloric acid all over you.

[JogreRush]

youve probably had this question before, but i was wondering, what would happen THEORETICALLY (i know theres only a minute amount in earths crust) if you added francium to flourine? just out of interest :)

[vmelkon]

@JogreRush Nothing special. it would look like a flame and smoke of FrF would come off.

[croutonicus]

Here is how it works:

All alkali metals are highly reactive. Casium being heavier is more reactive than some of the lighter ones e.g. Lithium.

The hydrogen gas produced by the reaction is heated by the thermal energy released at the same time, causing ignition and a violent explosion.

However casium is in fact so reactive it can explode in ice cold water.

Just for the record the lighter metals such as lithium and sodium they let you use in school aren't paticulary dangerous.

[ItsAlexOmg]

It isnt to do with weight, but the electron shell structure, as the lower down the Alkali Metals you go, the more shells there are, therfore the outermost shell which only has one electron in it is a far distance (in atomic terms) from the nucleaus, therefore it is very easy to loose it. This is what happens, the outer electron (only 1, as its group 1) reacts violently with something that needs one outer shell to reach equilibria

[croutonicus]

Now i challenge you to find some Francium and do it with that for twice the explosion. Might be a tad hard to get hold of mind.

[seanbrockest]

unless you can find it in an asteroid or something, i'd say it's more than a tad hard.

[croutonicus]

true true. it can be artificially made but with great difficulty

[masterjamie93]

pottasium only explodes after fizzing is seen on the surface before the explosio, hydrogen is given off. put a lighted splint to it and see the hydrogen reacting with the flame. has to be kept in a special oil to stop the reactive metals from reacting with the air

[TheGreatOldOnes]

i suggest that someone make a shampoo out of pure cesium

[drchen054]

Guaranteed to stop all dandruff... and life pulse.

[Screech5528]

FUCKING IDIOT!

[Beebop121]

that shit just got real

[jamesfirst92]

god i was experimenting this stuff in school. but we only used lithium, sodium and calcium i think.... apparently potassium is illegal to use in australia. but imagine putting cesium in ur bath tub while ur in it ...:S

[s0zhL]

Calcium is not from 1st Group.

You do mean "Kalium", I guess its potassium in english.

[piranha031091]

It is in the second group, but does similar reactions, on a really less violent way, you can only see hydrogen bubbles.

[kyomug1]

Am serious pliz i have that stuff 10Kgs

[cheesedie]

i hate the boring equations, but the practical aspect is great.

[kyomug1]

I have 10KGs of that stuff where can i sell it???

[cheesedie]

to me

[XDarkMoleX]

You wish.

[palle4]

I love chemistry

[elfmotat]

people here are really into exaggerating the effects of alkali metals in water...

[Ununennium119]

Actually, it's like this: if you were to throw lithium in water, it would basically bubble really quickly. Sodium would bubble even faster and probably explode, while potassium definitely explodes. Then there is rubidium, in which it is an even bigger explosion, and it would even explode in air (the moisture in the air would set it off). Caesium produces extremely large explosions (as seen here, literally blowing up the jar). Francium, uh, that you can't throw in a lake :D

You understand now?

[elfmotat]

No shit sherlock, that's 3rd grade chemistry. I was saying how everyone in the comments was exaggerating the effects.

You understand now?

[Ununennium119]

Oh...

Now I understand. Maybe those exaggerations would be what happened if ununennium (which would be below francium on the periodic table) was thrown in a lake. But who knows how intense just francium may be? Of course, I haven't read the comments yet.

And please don't use inappropriate words when posting replies to me. Besides, I'm really a 10-year-old.

[elfkj]

that's not exaggerating... But those metals hard to find, considering how difficult is to keep them in the right conditions (easy reactions with both water and oxygen in air)

If they explode or not usually depends on the ammount of metal used. Get enough sodium to react with water and it will explode. Get a good piece of cesium it wil blow seriously.

But believe me, studying Chemistry i have seen reaction far more dangerous :P

[Ishgum]

its very hard to get explosive metals such as ceasium due to their severe explosions

[zanoukas]

dude i don't really know how much more explosive would be to throw ununennium in a lake,but stil if fish won't die by the explosion they will die from cancer

[minerofblood]

could be the real thing you know, massive purple flames.

[SalvadorePapadello]

1.5g of caesium and that guy would be dead

[J0sh92]

this is so fake. cesium in water would destroy an entire room

[safibn1]

not true

[jeremiahswee]

youre a lil dumbshit, arent you?

[Kristian2164]

lilac flames= potassium

this video= a waste of mi time, wat about urs?

[rickallenthundergd]

its pottassium...lilac flames means pottasium

[cbvgg]

Potassium doesn't explode...

[Ununennium119]

Actually, potassium does explode, but not [just] as violently as rubidium and caesium (and probably francium, too)

[BigDaNNyBoi1989]

thats not even caesium u twat!

[killerhobo97]

oooooooooooo magic. the glass of water disappeared

[James250791]

I think this is potassium judging by the purple colour. Caesium would also give a much larger explosion.

[badballybro]

bustincapz what i do to make meh mum buy me summin is keep asking her and eventually my mum gives in but dunno about n i can prove it works cuz i wanted a motorbike n my dad got me on en now im getting a shotgun cuz i go shooting obvo n im only 14 lol

[GuppyMister]

THAT much cesium probably would make a bigger explosion then that.

[bustincapz]

man im 11 and i cant get an adult to buy me alkline metals lol

[julian1000]

well that makes sense. If you touch it with are skin the metal reacts with the water in your skin, causing small parts of your skin to burn and explode.

[vmelkon]

On your wiki page, there is a 1361,1 gram of cesium from Soviet union. What is it used for? Who would by such a large quantity?

[trueblue151]

thts not fuckin cesuim you cunt more like 1 gram of potassuim there wouldnt be anythin left it it were cesium...fuckin ignorant cunt

[orichmaruto]

no need to swear ...btw it could b caesuim n00b depends on how much they r using and how much has oxidised since its been out of oil

[Heikabuchi]

It's like the American Aluminum, and the European Aluminium. Europeans are odd lol. But i dont belive that Cesium would produce such a large explosion... its supposed to form a protective coating around itself to keep from further reacting.

[jeremiahswee]

whered you hear that bs? have you seen a cesium reaction?

[maxyevs]

youre thinking about passivation, but cesium does not passivate very much... aluminum does thats why it doesnt rust

[Heikabuchi]

No, im pretty sure i know what im talking about. cesium provides a quick small initial explosion, but would then form a small coating around itself, preventing any further reaction. i've reconsidered the video, and i guess it MIGHT be cesium, because it wasnt really that impressive, just a few small pops, but even sodium reacts MUCH more violently than that. potassium would have probably set the ceiling on fire.

[maxyevs]

Well you have to understand, the amount of hydrogen and metal hydroxide produced is the same per mole with sodium or cesium or potassium... if anything cesium would produce less per gram since its heavier, it would just react faster.

But the heat from the reaction is enough to vaporize and strip away the protective CsOH coating.

[Heikabuchi]

hmmm... i guess you could be right. ill have to test it for myself. i only saw the reaction as a demo, and learned nothing about what was in it, so i guess ill have to do it on my own.....

[jeremiahswee]

uh...how violent the reaction is doesnt neccessarily indicate the substance is more reactive. sodium tends to appear more violent because the accumulated hydrogen gas ignites.

[Heikabuchi]

you see, i never said that sodium was more reactive. i know my way around the periodic table pretty well.

[MisterPie1]

I don't think 1.5 grams of potassium would do that.

[TravisMaxima]

Was it worth the $100 you spent on it? (serious question)

[O2X2I]

lol...no..its caesium

[cheezecakeV2]

Well, shit. Looks like you need a new glass jar.

[Snake0987]

it can be spelled both ways

[solve18]

imagine 100kgs of this

[MegafireRules]

AHHHHHH that would be an awesome bomb :P

[Jack63815]

too expensive. it wud b easier jst to form a cheaper chemical which would do the same job

[kazaa4876]

Holy freaking banana muffins! I didn't even know that that much cesium was in one place... dang...

Now I want to move to denmark... I like elements like cesium...

Once again, holy banana muffins. It would suck to drop that..

[Xxero0]

ummm... just one question-

how were you able to get that gigantic cesium ampule?! that thing was huge!

must've weighed a hell of a lot.

[matthew5a]

spell caesium right

[antmanmax1]

Ehh... it's spelled Cesium. Sorry dude.

[radioshed]

Erm... no. Caesium comes from the Latin word "caesius". Only Americans call it Cesium, seemingly because they're stupid. :)

[correip]

I always thought it could be spelt both ways like sulfur or sulphur.

[TheFluorineMartyr]

Had a look at that ampoule... !!!!!! (vid. description)

uhh... wow? How much and where and who and... FBI not been round to your door?

1.3K's... unbeleivable

(please excuse excess of exclamation marks, but really warranted in this case)

[Dnn87]

Hehe, I was just as " !!!! " When I found out I could get this.

In Denmark it is completely legal to own any ammount of alkali metal as long as it is stored responsible.

[TheFluorineMartyr]

I know what I want for Christmas. ~~!

[SimonBlokky]

how did you get cesium?

[Dnn87]

Hi...

I knew a person who got a large stockpile from the former soviet union.

Nice deal, but 1 in a lifetime I believe :)

[Dnn87]

Wow... Easy guys. Alot of you speak with no experience whatsoever. Just because the spectrum is MOSTLY blue. The reaction color can still be diffrent.

Cesium reacts in water with a purple flame. Sometimes the blue color can be seen. Watch any other video with cesium in water and you'll see. Also, Cesium reacts VERY diffrent each time I try. So you cant say "Thats not how cesium reacts" Cause yes! That is how it reacts SOMETIMES. Other times diffrent. Watch my other Cs vids fx ;)

[Dnn87]

And yes, why should I lie???

Actually for me, rubidium is much harder to get. And more expensive. (more expensive only because I dont have a good rubidium source like I had with cesium)

Watch my profile and go to my wiki-webside to watch my cesium ampules. I have a few kilo's of cesium.

[o0Dreamlike0o]

Holy shit, a few kilos? That's sick dude xD

Try to find a way to drop a real big amount into a river or something on safe distance. And don't forget the filming =D

[nitrex]

That is a waste of money.

[o0Dreamlike0o]

That is a big boom.
