Well the braniacs used alot more of it and they had it in a little pill thingy so it would sink and cause a bigger reaction (more surface area = bigger/faster boom)

Tom Pringle) claims: Absolutely bloody nothing. The density of caesium ensured it hit the bottom of the bath like a lead weight. The sheer volume of water then totally drowned out the thermal shock-wave I was expecting to shatter the bath. This was an expensive filming day. They had hired part of Pinewood studios and had an ambulance and fire engine plus crew on standby. They could not go home empty handed. So they rigged a bomb in the bottom of the bath (you can see the black wire leading into the bath) and then blew the shit out of it. I must say it did look cool [It] ate away at my conscience. But I couldn’t do anything about it.

Yeah, but wait until you get one with a little bit of hydrogen trapped inside, then you`ll actually see an explosion. Happened to me in science class in high school, blew the beaker up, and it was just a tiny piece.

there is however one more element that`s even more volatile when it comes in contact with water. They can`t use it because it`s radioactive, the longest isotope only lasts 22 minutes and it`s the second rarest element on planet earth.

LOL nice at Cesium. We did this in high school with Li, Na, and K, but Rb and Cs were too dangerous for us, lol. Awesome. 5/5

You can not buy rubidium or caesium (easyly) because they are radioactive and react so strongly with water.
They are used in atomic clocks too.
