Hey, guys!
From my previous video on the sodium-potassium alloy,
I have some of this metallic liquid left to show you its reactions with liquid halogens.
Considering the high reactivity of the potassium-sodium alloy,
it's not surprising to expect violent reactions when it comes into contact with halogens
When we add it to liquid chlorine...
nothing happens.
Despite my attempts to introduce the alloy to liquid chlorine,
no reaction was observed.
This might be due to a protective oxide or chloride film
that chlorine cannot overcome
when the alloy comes into contact with carbon tetrachloride,
it explodes upon impact.
Unlike liquid chlorine,
the sodium-potassium alloy instantly explodes upon contact with liquid bromine.
The reaction of the sodium-potassium alloy with iodine,
like many other reactions involving this violet halogen,
is truly remarkable.
