    Had a chemistry professor in college who loved demonstrating chemical reactions. One end to a semester he let students come to his house to celebrate. They had a little too much to drink, and is I recall he told us, students took a 1kg brick of his potassium in a boat on the lake he lived next to. They threw it overboard and had a giant explosion. They all came away unscathed, but I guess that explosion was heard for miles. He was a great teacher, everyone was enthusiastic about learning in his class.

      That's happening to me right now 😂😭 I was looking for a metal doesn't react to water, air, or other elements. A stable metal that isn't expensive or rare.

    I had this in my lessons and obviously we want to do experiments but as it is dangerous and obviously unavailability of metals makes us unable to do. But we wanted to see how it happens and this video is so helpful for those situations

      The US sprayed defoliant in Vietnam.
      The consequences are still there today.
      Far worse than quick reacting potassium.
