  • is it Rb with water or Na with water??

  • Rubidium and water

  • We did it in school. And Yes i'm sorry I couldn't keep it on any longer, I had to turn it off because my teacher nearly noticed my phone and we aren't allowed to use them in school, after the vid finishes lots of sparks flew all over like a firework and the cieling was ruined.

  • It is, the thing you can see is a bowl of water, it takes so long to explode because we had to put the rubidium on a paper tissue because it would explode before we could get away. Also there may be a bit of oil on it because we had to keep it in a jar of oil incase it would get in contact with any water which as you can see.. is very dangerous.
