Francium is a GROUP 1 metallic ELEMENT.

It is a the bottom of Group 1 . Its partner elements in the Group are, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, & caesium.

They all react with water with increasing violence. to the point of explositivity.

Francium is also Radio-Active, so you will not find it in any school lab. or even industrial labs. It is probably kept in a very special nuclear research lab. under very controlled conditions.

It was discovered by Marie Curie, in France, hence its name.
