Alkali Metals: Explosive reactions

Uploaded by Open2net on Jul 20, 2007
David Johnson of The Open University demonstrates how the alkalei metals react with water - with explosive results - in this extract from the BBC/OU programme "Elements Organised: A Periodic Table".

step 1 buy ceasium
step 2 get glass jar
step 3 get pill capsule and put ceasium in it
step 4 put water in jar
step 5 put pill in jar of water put lid on jar and wait :)

Cesium is one reactive sonuvabitch! That was awesome!!!
-
@boxxybrownn Francium is highly radioactive and rare, meaning it's not going to be easy. If you're really willing to watch Francium act in water, then lettuce hope that we will get results. (Punny :D)

thumbs up if VSAUSE brought u here
-
MY SCIENCE TEACHER TOLD ME TO LOOK AT THIS MR. D if you read this comment ITS WILL
-
There's got to be a way, someday, that man can create a chunk of FRANCIUM... please, God!
-
You forgot francium
-
@bfg123HELLO No..... I'm here cuz this what i like to research in my spare time...... :P
-
k then
-
@mapleworld777 I'm guessing it would hurt, but if you want you can experiment it.

sooo... is everyone here cuz of chemistry course work in school on the discovery of francium and alkali metals then like me? xD

@MrBlurtit - - Ya, of course you're right. On a side note, the next synthetic element to be created (if we create one after Ununoctium, which is element 118) will fall under the alkali metals group (beneath Francium). Theoretically, element 119 would be even more reactive than Francium. This is extremely unlikely however, as the new valance of electrons would be extremely unstable - producing even a couple atoms would be a challenge. Fun to think about though...
