I never knew there were metals that were this volatile in water. I wonder what would happen if you tossed a whole bucket of this stuff into a swimming pool.

my class and i tried it.the teacher put a small piece of potassuim or sodium in water but we were far from it of course.

Known this for a while
The problem is you will not find pure Alkali Metals anywhere, maybe Potassium but anything past that like Cesium are kept in lab's with special equipment because they react badly with air alone. So give up hope.
