    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...

      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.

    • @jeffzebert4982

      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.
