Radium and flourine
How about the reaction of radium and water? Or that between flourine and water? Radium is an alkaline earth metal, and flourine is a halogen. 74.135.194.87 (talk) 21:48, 4 February 2024 (UTC)


 * If you have an example then feel free to include it. I would imagine radium reactions would be especially bad since it's radioactive. Recon  rabbit  03:40, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It talks about hydroxides of calcium, strontium, and barium being slightly water soluble, but doesn't say about radium hydroxide. It mentions Ra in the alkaline Earth metals section, but doesn't say about the reaction.2600:1008:B130:BCF8:F99C:B906:144D:272F (talk) 17:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * There are not any real sources on this, though. Only that it "probably" reacts violently with water. I don't think anyone has actually done it.  Recon  rabbit  17:25, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * There is a wikipedia page Radium hydroxide. It doesn't say how vigorous the reaction with water is, but I'd imagine quite vigorously. 74.135.194.87 (talk) 18:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I did the research and added what I could find related to your concern. Recon  rabbit  20:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I saw that now for Radium and water and for fluorine and water. Thanks! 74.135.194.87 (talk) 21:02, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
