You should avoid doing that as Plutonium is considered to be highly toxic, perhaps the most toxic element known.
Plutonium 239 has a half life of 24,100 years, which is not all that long. A fist full of material (less than critical mass!) would probably give you radiation poisoning. More than critical mass would, of course, result in a chain reaction, spewing out lots of nasty short lived fissile byproducts, and producing a squid type blast equivalent to perhaps 20 sticks of TNT. That would be awkward. Then again, if you contained a critical mass of this material (about 14 pounds), you could get a really decent detonation--big enough to level a small city, as with the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki back in 1945. The heat and pressure from that, if you were close by, would pretty much vaporize you and ionize (strip the electrons off) the vapors.

Why your hands feel warm when you hold a cup of hot cocoaa?
When you hold a cup of hot cocoa, your hands absorb the heat from the warm liquid through the cup. This increases the temperature of your hands, making them feel warm. Heat transfer occurs from the hot cocoa to your hands until they reach thermal equilibrium, balancing out the temperature difference.
Why bare covalent molecules typically liquids or gases?
Bare covalent molecules are typically liquids or gases because they have weak intermolecular forces between the molecules. These weak forces are not strong enough to hold the molecules closely together in a solid form, leading to a lower melting point and boiling point. As a result, bare covalent molecules tend to exist as liquids or gases at room temperature.
