a few weekd ago I went on a family vacation w/ some other families. My brother, without my parent's knowledge, brought a bottle of sodium. In case you didn't know this is an element which explodes in water. Enjoy.

  • @Silenthen1 tnx Broo :)

  • @SuperStrelac If you REALLY want to make sodium, you'll need to find a way to SAFELY get PURE table salt (NaCl) up to about 900 degrees celcius to reach it's melting point. After you've melted it you'll need to pass a strong DC current through the molten salt, and at the negative terminal solid sodium will synthesize (appear)

    I really don't reccomend doing this because having sodium at 900 degrees celcius is asking for trouble because the sodium will react (EXPLODE) more vilently at this temp.

  • @lWILLMAKEYOUCRY sodium is different from salt because salt is sodium and chloride mixed together

  • But will it blend?

  • @bballspike LOL theres like half a gram of francium left on earth

  • BUT WEN U PUT SALT IN WATER IT MAKES SALTWATER!!!?!?? WTF

  • be careful...

  • although francium is highly highly explosive, i highly highly doubt you could POSSIBLY obtain any, considering fanciums half-life is approximately 22 minutes, and at any given point in time there can only be a maximum of on ounce of this alkali found on earth, its an extremely rare metal

  • I was thinking about smuggling potassium

    out of our science class. I didn't. Now I wish I did... though it was raining that say. On second thoughts actually...

  • yeah,but can i make that sodium at my home??? and if i cam,tel mehow.....:DD
