It would look like wet francium.

Francium Reacting With Water

2016-11-10 09:23:26 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

As with sodium. Francium is a very strong alkali metal .It splits the molecule of water to give FrOH + 1/2 H2 . This reaction is exothermic and gives a great quantity of heat.
The result Fr OH is a strong base

In reality, if a large enough sample of Francium were ever to be produced to drop a quantity of it into water, it would spontaneously evaporate and ignite before it even hits the water, due to the heat generated by it's intense radioactivity.

The largest sample ever synthesised was 10,000 atoms. It is estimated there is only about an ounce at any given time in the Earth's crust, continually being created and decaying as part of the natrual decay chain of Uranium and Thorium

The francium would sink to the bottom of the container as it is less dense than water, it will then almost instantly shatter the container if is made of glass or another weak material as it gives of hydrogen gass explosively, it is likely that all the water would splash out, but testing its pH would show that it becomes an alkaline solution.

BOOM!!!!!
there would be a massive explosion. okay well not massive massive but a small lump in a bathtub would total your tub. seriously. you would have to do it outside.
francium is one of the most reactive elements there is. almost as reactive as caesium. it's above potassium in the reactivity series.
