Let’s Begin…

The team at periodicvideos has created a TED-Ed Lesson for every element of the periodic table. This one is about rubidium. Take this lesson to see it dropped in water! Yet another experiment in our "small metallic collider" (aka, the anti-climax machine). We suspect this is the last time you will see it in action.

Rubidium is a solid at room temperature, but its melting point is relatively low. Do you know what its melting point is?
