Will an explosion occur when francium is placed in water?

Francium is the most reactive of the alkali metals and its radioactive, so yes. If you were to get your hands on some which is very unlikely as its rare then i wouldn't recommend you try it :)


How far should you be when putting francium in water?

If you don't already know the answer to this question, you should not put Francium in water!!!! Francium is highly reactive in water, so much so that a small vile of it dropped in water will make a bathtub explode. If you would like to see the experiment, you can find it on youtube, but you should not perform it on your own. To answer your question, depending on how much Francium you are using, the answer will be different, but to be safe, you should be several hundred feet away.


Which metal reacts the most violently with acid?

Francium is the metal that reacts the most violently with acid. Francium is a highly reactive and rare metal that is very unstable and will readily react with any acid, causing a vigorous and potentially explosive reaction. Due to its extreme rarity and radioactivity, francium is not used for practical applications.


Is francium carbonate soluble in water?

Francium carbonate is expected to be soluble in water due to the reactivity of francium with water to form hydroxide ions. However, due to the extreme rarity and radioactivity of francium, its chemical properties are not well-studied.


How does francium react with water and why?

Francium reacts very vigorously with water, producing francium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction occurs because francium is an alkali metal and easily loses its outer electron when in contact with water, releasing energy in the form of heat and causing the explosion-like reaction.

Does francium explode when placed in water?

Very probable, yes.


Why does francium explode instantly?

Francium don't explode instantly; probably a confusion with the radioactive disintegration.

Francium reacting with water?

As other alkali metals francium can react with water; but unfortunately we don't have francium for this experiment !


Metal that bursts into flame when it reacts with water?

Potassium is the only metal (alkali metal) where a flame is present. Lithium and sodium fizz but there is no flame. Caesium, francium and rubidium all explode on contact with water.

Has francium ever been tested with water?

Francium would react with water by this equation: 2Fr + 2H2O -->2FrOH + H2 The products here are francium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. However, it would be impossible to gather enough francium to demonstrate this reaction.


Would you predict that francium would combine with water more or less readily than cesium?

The Group 1 elements have a specific family name - alkali metals. All the alkali metals are silvery solids with low densities and low melting points. These elements increase in their reactivity, or tendency to combine with other substances, as you more from top to bottom on the periodic table.Alkali metals are found in many items. Lithium batteries are used in cameras. Sodium chloride is common table sat. Sodium and potassium, dietary requirements, are found in small quantities in potatoes and bananas.I'd predict that francium would combine less readily than cesium.______________Well, actually, Francium is a radioactive element, and it's a pretty unstable one at that; Alkali metals tend to explode somewhat when placed in water.Cesium then will explode in water, and Francium will, undoubtedly, undergo radioactive decay into Radium, and when that's placed into water...To answer the question :Francium will most definitely combine readily (if not violently) with water more than Cesium.


Can you see francium in water?

It is not possible.
