One thing that channels like this have taught me over the years is that learning actually is, unironically, really fun. It was school itself that sucked
There's a Brazilian tragedy linked to Cesium 137(a radioactive isotope of cesium), where people of a city thought that the blue-like shininess of Cesium was pretty, and started to share it among the neighborhood. A bunch of people were poisoned with the radiation and died the following days.
And months and years later too I believe roughly 1,100 people ended up being contaminated, a few hundred needed hospitalization, and a whole city block was demolished. The family and junkyard workers and owners who lived were ostracized from the town. The little girl who thought it was fairy dust and died was buried in a lead coffin with massive protests where the city police had to hold back protestors so she could be buried and her aunt (or mother) who had passed and was buried also had massive protest from the city too.

@@zavier-l1h What german artist do you mean? Mustache man was austrian. And since him there have been tens of thousans of german artists. I don't get why people feel the need to poke and jab like that at strangers. I guess talkin sh*t gives you pleasure or something... You should swallow it instead of spreading it around.
You haven't heard that many older Germans speak English then... They can be outright hard to understand because of their accent, even if their written English looks perfect. I've got a fair few colleagues in that category. Losing one's accent usually takes a long time and usually it won't happen unless someone spends months or years almost exclusively talking to native speakers. Some (mostly neurodivergent) folks can almost completely lose their accent within hours, though - often even picking up regional dialects as we travel and ending up with an odd mixture of accents and dialects from all over the map that "just feels right" when not trying to fit in.
Ha, yeah, it is. Since it is mostly lab-made and is almost impossible to find, for all intents and purposes cesium functions as the most reactive metal.
could this be used as a fuel? like what would happen if you injected it into an engine? alone or even with gasoline? does it burn so hot it would just melt through the pistons? or block even? hmmm now where did i put that flask????...
Even if it only reacted with oxygen somehow (like, it was the only fuel and the oxidizer was completely dry) the product is cesium peroxide. Which melts at 590C, the average exhaust system has an exit temperature < 200C so it would form solid crystals in the exhaust.
For everyone saying “Francium is more reactive” Yes, Francium is the most reactive metal on the periodic table, so it is slightly wrong. But in terms of reactivity, Francium is a laboratory-procured element and only minute quantities have ever been made because of how unstable and radioactive Francium can be (~22 minute half-life). So for practical use cases, Cesium which is above Francium on the periodic table is the most reactive element that is accessible and ethical for use.
The idea that francium is more reactive than cesium is actually a common misconception. Although francium is located below cesium in the periodic table, its ionization energy is slightly higher, making it less reactive. This is due to relativistic effects caused by the size of the francium atom.
@AdvancedTinkering no offense but wouldn’t the slight difference in ionization energy get canceled out by the electron shielding which is higher since Francium is located the furthest down on Group 1
Hats off to a master. This is spectacular work. Sure; it’s “nothing new”, but classical experiments don’t get much easier just because of passage of time. Well done, just wow.
Should we name it by its colour? Nah. The colour when you heat it, distill it, put it in an ampule, hook it up to a Tesla coil, and heat it again. Sounds great!
I can attest to the sodium/water reaction. Back in the '70's when in high school we had a student get some sodium from the chemistry supply room. They surrounded it with toilet paper and then flushed it. Never found out who did it but it did some pretty bad damage to the floor and sewer system in the immediate area.
Play with Francium and then tell me Caesium is highly reactive. Just a few problems, 1) Francium is very rare, so it’s expensive. 2) It’s radioactive. Personally, I would have gone with Fluorine as 1 of the most reactive elements in the periodic table. That stuff is the Homey badger of the chemistry world.
How do we extract or even obtain metals if they burn on contact with air (which is virtually everywhere) before getting it into a controlled environment
My guess is that it's extracted from its ore in a process which doesn't happen in the presence of air, such as in a liquid or in the presence of a non-reactive gas.

If it reacts to air that way, how was this mined or obtained without touching air?
The crap Rick Sanchez loves so much
Play with Francium and then tell me Caesium is highly reactive.
Just a few problems,
1) Francium is very rare, so it’s expensive.
2) It’s radioactive.
Personally, I would have gone with Fluorine as 1 of the most reactive elements in the periodic table.
That stuff is the Homey badger of the chemistry world.
So cool, I learned a lot about the radioactive decay element cesium-138, but I never knew plain old cesium was this crazy!
Screw the lethal substance inside, you made a distillation apparatus yourself! I'm inspired.
You're what a mad scientist sounds like.
Wow! Thank you for sharing this!
Learned more on you tube than i ever did in school.
So how do you get this in the first place is it made with other metals cause if it was under ground as soon as you saw it it would combust no?
I was amazed by the reactivity demonstration, and then blown away by your glass blowing skills, holy shit
Hey dude you should try doing francium and water. It's a fun part trick
Builds his own apparatus 🙌🏽 we bow down to thee o supreme alchemist
How do we extract or even obtain metals if they burn on contact with air (which is virtually everywhere) before getting it into a controlled environment
My guess is that it's extracted from its ore in a process which doesn't happen in the presence of air, such as in a liquid or in the presence of a non-reactive gas.
It's such a stunning shade of pale gold!
Thanks for sharing.
Where do you get cesium?
How do you get a quantity of that without it reacting during the extraction process?
Why does he have the accent of a bond villain
Wait, where did you get the Cesium? I want some! So Cool!
How do you get it into the needle?
Your accent and voice are perfect for this. Even if the cesium hadn't catched my attention that certainly did
Ok, clearly, this is a "best use" for the technology behind online video sites. Awesome stuff!
What color is cesium after it reacts with oxygen?
When you had 7 hr journey without bathroom break.😂
Love your show 🤩 cool stuff , 😎
It just air in general, or is it the water in the air that it reacts to?
