Watch to the end for the best (Cesium!)! A wonderful representation of the alkali metals and their accurate reactivity with water. unlike brainiac, who did infact use explosives in their episode for rubidium and cesium. Very worth a watch.

Thank you for this video.
Ps. You will not get to see Francium in water!

where is cesium …
where is cesium available to buy?

@PoliticalDestruction
youre right theres only about a gram in the whole world
I still remember …
I still remember watching a video where they showed francium dropping into a bowl of water. The bowl wasn’t there after. This in a vid during our chemistry class showing the most reactive alakine metals on the periodic table.
Let’s try cesium… …
Let’s try cesium…our fifth alkali metal… *ting* *POOF*
I laughed so hard xD
awsome
awsome
lol same it was …
lol same it was funny as hell
LOL I watched this …
LOL I watched this in science yesterday, and the whole class laughed when he did the cesium one, because we weren’t expecting the glass to break. XD
@Zockuito if you …
@Zockuito if you click more info, it will provide you with all accreditations and info you need
Where is this whole …
Where is this whole video found? I know there is more.
would the metal …
would the metal absorb the water vapor in the air and essentailly combust right there
It called a nuke… …
It called a nuke… I think it just might produce a little more energy per mole than Fr, don’t you think?
Too bad no one can …
Too bad no one can get enough francium to put in water
i watched this vid …
i watched this vid in science yesterday
yeah, there were …
yeah, there were definitely fireworks
man, watching the …
man, watching the cesium blow up that glass bowl will never get old
Yes it’s loosing …
Yes it’s loosing its valence electrons to the H of the H2O.
Is it because it …
Is it because it loses its valence electrons?
not a dumb question …
not a dumb question. potassium is in bananas, just in a different form. thats pure potassium there, which is highly reactive as can be seen lol. not sure what form is in bananas tbh. anyway, i didnt make this, but francium is highly radioactive, therefore constantly decaying. so very hard to isolate, and especially for the likes of this lol

@ironnica
You’re right, not only are you right, but I was wrong. Sorry. I guess you were right about me just trying to be a god-damn smartass. I shall always check my science before making comments like that again.
!Thank You!
fail again.
fail again.
fail.
fail.
I think the water …
I think the water and the rubidium should date. They have great chemistry. LMFAO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
Fine, I will check …
Fine, I will check my knowledge but you stick to what you know, and I’ll stick to what I know.
francium is very …
francium is very radioactive….
its very rare and only a few peapole have actually seen it,
hope tha answerd your question
