In preparation for the 2012 Christmas Lectures Dr Peter Wothers heads off to the University of Leicester to conduct an extraordinary experiment - reacting the most reactive metal in the periodic table (Caesium) with the most reactive non-metal (Fluorine).
Due to the extreme reactivity of the two elements, Fluorine expert Professor Eric Hope is on hand to enable the experiment to be conducted safely.
We believe this is the first time the reaction has been caught on camera.
Something went wrong, please try again later.
Awesome!
What a beautiful reaction indeed! This shows perfectly well the two extremes of the reactivity series. I added this awesome video to the @tesScience newsletter. Thanks for sharing.
