Same with ours, he tried lithium, then sodium then he did potassium which reacted so aggresivly it shot up to the roof and made a small hole, it was really funny
I actually did this myself last year in school, it was quite fun! Well, I did lithium and natrium (you call it sodium in the US), the teacher did kalium (potassium) and then showed us a video of all five. Rubidium reminded me of fireworks, and cesium blew out the side of the bowl.
@@DA20052 I'm from Sweden but I was a foreign exchange student in the US at the time. I remember I kept having to remind myself to use the English names of the elements.
i have never seen someone using the word natrium as an equivalent to sodium besides in element symbol nomenclature, so it’s pretty cool to see that a country - a north Germanic country no less - uses the Latin word for it.
Good work. I did the reaction with Natrium and water. It first melted and after that ignited. Shortly after that exploded with a short and loud sound, continuing to burn in the air. I love this metal. But I've never had more active metals.
This is a great demonstration and it never gets old! The action lab here on RUclips did a video that was sodium into sulfuric acid. Very cool but extremely violent its worth a see.
Thanks so much for the youtube, I am a science teacher and I wish I could do this in my class, but they will have to watch it on youtube instead...we are under strict lockdown.
Does anyone here remember the DC comics in the 70's with the metal eating alien sponges? I think they must've got the idea from methyl orange as when you heat it up it rapidly swells up and becomes just like a sponge and it also eats holes in metal as anyone who has ever had a chemistry set as a kid will know.
As another video with more of the alkali series shows, the further down the column (on the table of elements) one goes, the more reactive the metal is with air and water. Cesium, in particular, doesn't float, so it sinks like a rock then the hydrogen flare basically detonates in the water like a depth charge. Rubidium I have yet to see go in the water, but I'd bet it would be memorable...
Brady Haran videos this experiment and has it here on youtube! The following is a link to his video on the reaction with Rubidium and water. ruclips.net/video/iP6CRZdDu6o/видео.html
2:04 Nice explanation and lesson, but I found it kinda funny because it sounded like someone got their finger stuck in a HIGH VOLTAGE SWITCH, and the switch got shot!!!😂🤣😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😆😆😆😆😆
potassium in its neutral form is reactive due to the final valence electron being very easy to remove. Charged potassium in a banana or supplement already has that electron removed so the properties differ quite a bit.
If you were to somehow make francium (a HIGHLY radioactive alkali metal) stable in terms of NUCLEAR properties, and you procure a roughly 1-CC cube of that element, then if you put that into a beaker of water, then it would generate a HUGE fireball and blow said beaker to smithereens! You see, the heat from such a reaction would flash-boil the water within the beaker ALL AT ONCE. The resulting HUGE expansion of steam AND the hydrogen fireball would basically blow up the beaker. Without nuclear stabilization, that 1-CC cube of francium would almost instantly turn into a gas as a result of the extreme amounts of heat generated by the element's lightning-fast radioactive decay.
The explosion generated by 1 cubic centimeter of francium reacting with water would probably be at least as powerful as the explosion produced by one stick of dynamite.
Die Reaktivität der Alkalimetalle mit Wasser nimmt in dieser Reihenfolge zu: Lithium, Natrium, Kalium, Rubidium, Cäsium, Frankium. Woran liegt das? Nun, schauen wir uns doch mal den Aufbau der Atome an, bei jedem Alaklimetall in der Reihenfolge, wie sie im Periodensystem stehen, wenn man es von oben nach unten sozusagen liest, kommt eine Außenschale dazu, die Elektronen sind immer weiter vom Kern entfernt, man kann sie also immer leichter entfernen, die Ionisierungsenergien liegen immer niedriger, dementsprechend ist es leichter, sozusagen Elektronen von Frakium aus seiner äußersten Schale zu entfernen, als von Lithium. Die Elektronenaffinität der Nichtmetalle nimmt genau in der entgegengesetzen Richtung zu, Fluor ist demnach das reaktivste Nichtmetall, sowieso ist es das reaktivste Element, es hat die höchste Elektronegativität, dies ist auch wieder auf den Bau der Atome zurückzuführen.
My chemistry teacher once showed us the reaction of water and sodium. So sad that I cannot show it to my students now because there are so many limitations on chemicals in the place where I live now
Good evening Scott. Is there a way to email you? I would like permission to make use of your video with some of groups. I teach EAL students and I would like to make use of your video. Thank you for posting all these great videos!!
I don’t know if he ever got in touch but if not there are often links in the profile about page. He has one to a blog and some other links it seems which may allow you to make contact.
If you put a bit more sodium and a bit more potassium you'll notice that sodium creates a power explosion because of the spikes compared to potassium because of coulomb explosion.
We have all had these globally available batteries in our homes for decades, we must now ask ourselves: have we been scammed? have we something in the house that is essentially a good deal less safe than we previously thought?, is it time to move our ever-growing collections of batteries to a location external to the house where if they explode they can do no harm?
"You will find that the activity is a little... Greater" *Explodes*
reactivity lol
I think you might've covered the wrong beaker.
😂
Savage!
Welp it’s clear him want the table to burn up
He actually meant the middle one might cause the entire house on fire
😂😂😂🤣 exactly
I was waiting for him to say "Next we are going to be trying Francium..."
The sodium was going all Mario Kart
potassium was me when i got hit by a blue shell

Tell me about it
Innit 😂
I’m not lol, learnt about this today and I was interested so I looked it up.

That would be some Nice pops and a loud Ass explosion. Experienced that already
Lmaooo
Amazon has a lot of alkali metals however they are hard to ship.
You're giving the troublemakers from high school ideas lol
Good Idea! 🤪😆
My high school chemistry teacher once put sodium in a water bowl in the school's parking lot, it was really fun to watch

Adds potassium to water in beaker totally fine

when my teacher didn't assign me this but i want to watch this bc it is cool.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
My online tutor is making me watch this rn
I just like watching them react.
Sodium in my case:
*floats on water*
*ignites*
*loudly explodes, that the protection screen bounces*

Was here just for the explosion really

Sodium is gonna ignite, so puts on Gauze... Potassium... is just dumped in lol
School gang where you at?
Thanks miss Whitaker for sending me here in year 10 chemistry. UK gang know how it is
I agree
Ok jack
I have to do this in yr 7 😒
Loved the potassium reaction!
I like potassium
It tastes nice too
Ya its sexy
We did this in class and it burned the table :))
@@cillian06 Same but it burnt the whole classroom (Well…. not the whole classroom) it jus exploded my teachers brain XD
Big up mr tyrer for sending me here
I have a doubt, why did the solutions turn pink when the metals was dropped in the water??
Thanks for this video
Sweet vid bro
Will you mind adding 3 of them together?
That probably wouldn't do much...
What do you expect would happen?
@@aurelia8028 Not sure what they expect, but it would be less effective compared to adding 3x the most reactive one.
Came here researching the biolab explosion in conyers georgia and based on your experiment I think potassium hydroxide is the culprit.
Me: sees fire
Me: pours water
Me: sees more fire
Me: confused screaming
real event
Di....did he just put sodium in the lithium beaker
And that’s what you call fire in water😎
The first sodium is their like practicing for marathon 🤣🤣
Nicely done. TY.
good job
Down the group , reactivity increases ! so true
Thanks for the demonstration. Did you add phenolphthalein to each beaker, thus the pink color during the reaction?
2:04 Nice explanation and lesson, but I found it kinda funny because it sounded like someone got their finger stuck in a HIGH VOLTAGE SWITCH, and the switch got shot!!!😂🤣😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😆😆😆😆😆
It's kind of bizarre how water puts out fire, yet simultaneously causes it here
if potassium is so reactive with water how come your stomach doesn't explode when you take a potassium supplement and wash it down with water?
potassium in its neutral form is reactive due to the final valence electron being very easy to remove. Charged potassium in a banana or supplement already has that electron removed so the properties differ quite a bit.

What happens when you eat these rocks?
How about a thin sheet of sodium in a vacuum chamber and start pumping in chlorine gas?
My chemistry teacher once showed us the reaction of water and sodium. So sad that I cannot show it to my students now because there are so many limitations on chemicals in the place where I live now
Can any expended substance be reused, can the "waste" or "exhaust" of chemical reaction be reused for fuel?
Does the sodium consistently move in a counterclockwise motion with this experiment, and if so what is the mechanism for this phenomenon?
It should be just random motion
And rubidium and cesium would cause a more violent reaction!
@RED Engineer why?
@RED Engineer yes it would.
They explode on contact with water
So- I was gonna place a bunch of lithium cup bombs around my school as a prank. And then I saw this comparison. Potassium is my new metal of chpice

This was thrilling to observe in class
the one in the middle was vibing doe
the smoke comming out is hydrogen gas and maybe a bit of steam not the metal or its hydroxide
yes of potassium
Amazing video
Things I watch to revise 🥱🤬
where is our rubidium
a nuke
who needs fireworks?
And to think if you remove one valence electron it won't do that
If you put a bit more sodium and a bit more potassium you'll notice that sodium creates a power explosion because of the spikes compared to potassium because of coulomb explosion.
What about the rubidium and caesium
Can water be used with any combination of alkali to produce thrust in neutral gravity?
I dont even have a clue
