    • @denizbluemusic
      @denizbluemusic 3 года назад +14

      due to relativistic effects, francium is actually less reactive than cesium.
      francium nuclei are so heavy that they pull the electrons closer and this causes them to orbit as faster speeds. this in turn makes the electrons more tightly bound to the nucleus, which makes it harder for the atom to react

      Most stable isotope of Fr has 22-minute half life.
      Delivery took a few business days at the very least.
      Not to mention there's only a few grams of Fr that's naturally occurring.

    This is the most accurate representation of alkali metals reacting with water. The pieces of metals are of consistent size. No false claims are made. Proper safety gear and increase of level of safety gear is demonstrated. I've used this with colleagues for years to teach the reactivity trend of alkali metals and to demonstrate periodic trends such as ionization energy. 16 years now, here we are using it again.

    An often overlooked fact is that lithium actually reacts with nitrogen in the air to form lithium nitride (black coating) which is why you get an ammonia smell when its put in water

      Francium is less reactive. This is because the nuclei is so large that it pulls the electrons closer, so they are more tightly bound to the atom making it harder for the francium to react.
