Stop it! My memories of caesium's immense destructive power come from a video in 3rd year chemistry where it was the only one to break the beaker.

You're ruining my illusions!

I was watching a video of each of the alkali metals being added to water. Trying to find it (without much luck) just now.

Here you go:- http://www.theodoregray.com/Periodic...ngs/index.html

Good wee article (with pics and videos) by a man* who chucked each of the alkali metals in a bowl of water and filmed what happened.


*This guy has managed, over a number of years, to collect all the natural elements (bar three) in one form or another. Most are pure samples.

Re: Building my own...
Oh! In other news my good friend David McCulloch, by trade a furniture maker of some talent, has agreed to design and build a wall-mountable periodic table shaped display cabinet for me. For a fee.
I'm assured it will be "cool" and "imaginative" and "contemporary".
Ace.

Les, that's a bit of a shit collection so far.

I can get copper, lead, iron, tungsten, mercury and oxygen next door without even trying. Finger out man.
