Francium - Periodic Table of Videos

Throwing Francium into water would be "the YouTube video of the century" according to our favourite chemistry professor! But is it possible? Videos of all the elements can be found at our website http://www.periodicvideos.com/

So did a small lightning storm pass by your head or what?

Be prepared for a long life... If I recall correctly, Francium does exist in nature, but due to its radioactivity as stated in the video, it decays into other elements quite rapidly. As such, it is theorized that only a few grams of the substance exists on Earth at any given point in time. Even more disheartening? It isn't some little lump just waiting to be dug up; it's a few atoms here, a few over here, and maybe a smattering over there. Not a lot to use for a reaction.

Wikipedia - Francium was discovered by Marguerite Perey in France (from which the element takes its name) in 1939. It was the last element discovered in nature, rather than by synthesis.
Last element discovered from natural samples, rather than smashing shit together at a bajillion miles an hour in enormous mad science fiction experiments. Iiiiiiiinteresting

This man has purely theoretical hair. You can almost see right through it. This is how all scientists should aim to look :) Thanks Mr Scientist man.
