Lithium fluoride would be even more stable, because lithium is much smaller, so the ions can get much closer together and therefore be held together more strongly by their opposite charges. Lithium fluoride has a standard enthalpy of formation -616 kJ/mol as opposed to cesium fluoride having a standard enthalpy of formation -553.5 kJ/mol. (I would have given the Gibbs free energy of formation, but I couldn't find it off the bat for lithium fluoride; for cesium fluoride it isn't very different from the standard enthalpy of formation.) And lithium fluoride binds to itself so well that it doesn't dissolve very well in water, whereas ridiculous amounts of cesium fluoride dissolve in water.

The board gaming convention Manorcon is in Leicester. A niche reason is still a reason.

Although it sounds counter-intuitive, Caesium is actually more reactive than Francium. Caesium actually has a lower ionisation energy than Francium (~392.811 kJ/mol for Francium and ~375.7041 kJ/mol for caesium). This is thought to be due to relativistic effects - have a google search around the subject, very interesting!

May I just say that both of you professors are absolutely insane for doing this. With that said, that was interesting.

Thirty years ago I worked for a company that among other things bought military surplus. The boss had gotten this strange ball made of stainless steel about the size of a softball, It had some fittings and rods coming out of it and looked a lot like the Sputnik spacecraft, It was obviously hollow and had some liquid in it. He and another employee got to work trying to cut it open. After a lot of hack sawing on the thing, they cut through and a silver liquid metal started pouring out. This surprised them and they tried to catch it in their hands thinking it was mercury. There was not much, about what the video showed. It started burning their skin and smoking. They ran to the sink to wash it off with water. When the water hit the metal, now stuck to their hands, it caught fire and exploded in small pops and fizzes. We later learned that it was caesium. Their hands healed after a few weeks. Later I did some research and to my best guess, the ball was indeed a satellite that the military used as a target in orbit to aim high energy xray beams at. This one never made it to space and ended up being sold (most likely by accident) at a surplus sale.

Piotr Joniec Ah, the Goiânia accident. It wasn't a metal, it was a radioactive caesium chloride salt that had been used as a gamma source for radiotherapy in a hospital. It wasn't tonnes of people who died, it was 4. Which might be surprising since it contained 93 grams (!!!!!) of ceasium-137 chloride and it was handled with a kind of unfathomable recklessness that seems surreal still today. He took the source in its container from it's shielding and brought it into his house and invited everyone to come and see it. Then they took turns using a screwdriver to chip out several rice-grained sized chunks of caesium-salt as well as scraping out dust and _shared it around with friends and family_. The person who found it _intended to make a ring of it for his wife_. One of the kids rubbed the stuff all over her arms so that she sparkled. His brother _painted a cross_ on his stomach using the dust. Some of it was _eaten_ by mistake. It ended up on bed clothes and every where else. It wasn't until 15 days later that the source was transported to a hospital so that it could be examined, in a plastic bag, _without shielding_, using _public transportation_.

The biggest “wow” for me was that the periodic table has a vial of fluorine. Someone must have spent a lot of time making that happen. You can’t just put fluorine into a vial - it’ll eat its way out. That glass must have been treated so that there’d be a passivated layer that had some self-healing properties. Kudos to whoever pulled that off. It takes lots of care. Contaminants will act as bridges that will cut through passivation and make a hole in the glass eventually (or quickly, depending on what the contaminant is). This is the sort of stuff where plain old dust from the air can mess things up. Unless it’s just a vial filled with air. Should be easy to test - fluorine has lots of absorption lines in the visible spectrum, a hand held spectrophotometer should be enough to tell perhaps. Even stronger lines in IR if I recall right.

I am, well aware of that. Though I would link it more to a relatavisitc effect caused by the electrons in a 7s orbital having a non zero probability at the nucleus combined with a high nuclear charge and the electrons moving close to the speed of light causing a contraction. The lanthanide contraction is more appropriate to the 6p elements, as by 7s they have become basically core-like.
