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 :)

Would you predict that francium would combine with water more or less readily than cusium?
Supposing you mean cesium, I would say no. You see, when francium and water are mixed they react much more violently than cesium in water, causing a greater explosion. Therefore, cesium would combine more rapidly.
Why does caesium explode in water?
Cesium is, except for Francium, the most reactive element of the alkaline metals. It explodes in water because it rapidly evolves Hydrogen gas and heat. The explosion results from the hydrogen gas blowing the boiling water out of the container and then igniting.
What happen if you mix francium with water?
BOOM!!!!! 2Fr(s) + 2H2O(L) -> 2FrOH(aq) + H2(g)
What happens if francium gets on your skin?
Francium is reactive when your skin is moist because it is very reactive with water. Francium is an alkali metal and is very reactive and violent with water.
Sodium metal explodes when placed in water is this a physical property?
No, it is a chemical substance. The explosion is a violent chemical reaction.
Does francium explode when placed in water?
Very probable, yes.
How might one expect francium to behave when placed in water?
After a violent reaction the francium hydroxide should be formed.
What does pure francium do with water?
Very probable a very violent occur.
Francium reacting with water?
As other alkali metals francium can react with water; but unfortunately we don't have francium for this experiment !

Predict reactivity of francium with cold water?
The reactivity of francium with water would be more reactive than most of the other alkali metals, because the lower down the column of alkali metals you go in the periodic table the more reactive the element becomes in cold water. Therefore, if francium was to react with cold water it would react by giving off an explosion.

BOOM!!!!! 2Fr(s) + 2H2O(L) -> 2FrOH(aq) + H2(g)

Sodium metal explodes when placed in water is this a physical property?
No, it is a chemical substance. The explosion is a violent chemical reaction.
What element creates a small explosion when submersed in water?
All elements of the alkali metals (lithium [Li], sodium [Na], potassium [K}, rubidium [Rb], cesium [Cs] and francium [Fr]) group will react violently when placed in water. The further from the top, the more violent the reaction will be. This happens due to their very high reactivities and thus, they are kept in kerosene oil.
Can you see francium in water?
It is not possible.
