I had something, but I can't remmeber what it was. So here's another one.

The alkai metals are highly reactive in water, getting more andmore so as you go down the periodic table. The least reactive is lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and finally the last of the elements to be discovered in nature, francium (Fr), which is the most reactive of this lot, and doesn't survive on its own anyway before its radioactive decay.

But that's not the interesting this, this is: on the TV show Brainiac, Hamster and Tickle demonstrated ribidium and caesium's explosiveness in water, but the explosions were... faked. Fact.

Thats fascinating. Are the real explosions worse, and they didnt want to put the Hamster at risk?

I did see a bit of either rubidium or caesium (don't remember if it was Cs, so it was at least Rb) being dropped into a beaker on BBC Learning Zone back late one night in 2006, and the force of the reactoin shattered the beaker. The problem with the Brainiac experiment was it involved dropping the stuff into a bath. That much water simply "drowned" the effects of any explosive reaction, in much the same way that an empty pot on a cooker will cause water from the tap to instantly vaporise when you go to cool it down, but the same pot plunged ino the ocean will have a barely noticeable effect.

Apparently viewers are meant to be told when the experiments are being, ah, helped by the program. Not this time; I saw the clip online.

There was another experiment I saw which didn't impress me at all. It wasn an attempt to find out how many hoovers' suction power would be enough to lift a person. But it never showed a full shot of the subject being lifted, and therefore never...
