[DeVotchKa]

Oh fuck, i jumped when the bowl exploded.

[bedcat]

[Occlusion2018]

[AimlessGiant]

You can hear someone whistling in disbelief in the background at the end, haha.

[Hazard24]

Haha that's why I love chemistry

[salty peanut]

[Guldfisk]

We heard about someone who put about 2 fist size of Sodium in a nearby lake in a hole that they drilled through the ice.

There were a huge fireball.

Cesium.

:psyduck:

[Silikone]

My crazy teacher had a vial pointing at a monitor, he then inserted sodium which exploded after a while. Luckily the monitor wasn't hit by the hot water.

[MightyMax]

Guys, there isn't enough Francium [I]on the earth[/I] to even think about doing a reaction test.

It was the exact film I saw in school.

Now I really just want to see like a kilo of francium go off in a lake :)

[MutantBadger]

One ton of Cesium, One swimming pool.

Where the fuck is the popcorn?

Unfortunately, francium is radioactive with a maximum half life of 22 minutes.

[quote=wikipedia]It is also calculated that there is at most 30 g of francium in the earth's crust at any time[/quote]

[MagicBurrito]

I like his name, ironnica

[credesniper]

Soft metal. Don't tell kids this, or they're argue with other kids. Nothing hurts an ego more than knowing you're right and everyone else telling you you're wrong.

[mossboss]

There's something very satisfying about watching him cut those metals with a knife.

[wug]

My favorite metals are rutherfordium, plutonium, tungsten, and gold :D

a kilo of francium doesn't exist on the planet, in total there's maybe... an ounce

I read there were only 14 francium atoms in the whole world. That was 3 years ago, though.

[JaffaOrange]

I want to see bunch of caesium pellets thrown into a tank of elemental flourine.

Collect it all up and waste it for a youtube video anyway
