Best Answer

in some water

this is a horrible idea, as francium is an element in the alkali metals, this family of elements reacts violently with water. for instance a small pellet of Potassium creates a bright flash and pops. as the elements move down in periods, they increase in reactivity, this would mean francium, would be the most reactive, a horrible idea would be to keep it in water. the best idea would be to store it in oil, as it will react with air.

You cannot get francium out of another material; it is impossible. Francium has a half-life of a few mere minutes, and this makes it so radioactive that it will just vaporize itself into a radioactively toxic gas that'll burn the skin off your face.

Francium is not an explosive material. Possible explosive reaction with water.

Why is francim more reactive than cesium?

Because the atom of francium is a whole row down from cesium. You see more YouTube videos of cesium in water because francium is highly radioactive, so it would be very hard to obtain a sample of francium to throw into water.


What state do you predict francium to be in at room temperature?

Francium should be a solid at standard temperature and pressure, as is cesium, the element next above it in its Periodic Table column. Note, however, that francium is so highly radioactive that it may be difficult to maintain any actual sample of it at standard temperature and pressure.


Why is francium less cared in chemistry?

Francium is often ignored because it is the second rarest element on the planet. Only about 30 grams of it exist in Earth's crust at any given time. Nobody has been able to have more than a few thousand francium atoms in one place. Francium is also has a very short half-life, 22 minutes. Meaning that if you have a sample of francium half of it will have decayed into other elements after 22 minutes.


How was francium named francium?

Francium was named after France, the country it was dicovered in.

Whats the most reactive substance?

Quite possibly francium (Fr, atomic number 87) is the most reactive element. Collecting a sample large enough to view is currently impossible, as it would vaporize due to the extreme heat of its decay. The longest isotopic half life of francium is 22 minutes.


Why is the density of francium unknown?

We haven't sufficient francium for a measurement; also francium is autovaporized.
