Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates the reactivity of alkali metals towards halogens. When alkali metals react with halogen gases, they form metal halides. The reactions become more vigorous from lithium to cesium, with lithium reacting moderately and heavier metals like potassium, rubidium, and cesium reacting very strongly.
