  • Very, very nice video! It is the first video I have seen on YouTube showing experiments with elemental Fluorine gas! Very nice =)

  • You're all wrong, Charlie Sheen is the most reactive element known to man.

  • Flash bomb=>FLUORINE!!!!!

  • It must be hard to get pure fluorine.

  • Chemists do it on the table, periodically.

  • @miest0908

    Although it would be really REALLY cool to know what color it gives in a flame test. If I had to guess, I'd guess deep purple, or maybe even an emission that's off the visible range...

  • @japanesepoptart I agree, the idea is ridiculous.

  • @miest0908

    Proper sheilding could protect from radiation...but that's beside the point: the Idea of anyone getting enough francium to actually do a reaction is ridiculous.

  • @japanesepoptart Wrong... sort of. From what I understand, experiments suggest that Helium is actually the most electronegative element. However, it doesn't react anyway.

    But Francium is impossible to produce. IF you had, say, a small chunk (maybe 1/10th of a mole, about 22 grams), the power is W=E * ln(2) / (M * t1/2), which turns out to be 26.35KW. That's the heat output of a bike engine or 200-300 lightbulbs... but in radiation. A small chunk of francium would kill everyone in the room.

  • @miest0908 It will react, under the right conditions, with most of them aswell.

  • Shoot flourine at pretty much anything other than the halogens, and it's going to react.
