true, the alkali metals don't react this heavily, especially not in small amounts. and as a side note: the reason why they didn't use francium (Fr) isn't because "they" wouldn't let them have any, but due to the fact that the largest quantity of francium ever collected in one bunch was a cluster of approx. 10000 atoms (0.00000000000000000370 grams) and also due to the fact that it has a half-life of 22 minutes and decays into the highly radioactive radium.
