yea thats what i meant i dont know why i said acid. I did that expirement with K and Li in high school

In group 1 of the periodic table elements like Lithium Li Sodium Na Potassium K React very seriously because there electrons are not full so they try to be stable by adding or removing electrons to become whole with the water if I'm not mistaken =].

You cant "make" sodium. It is an element and occurs naturally in the universe. You cant "make" any element as it is a pure unmixed substance. years and years ago people thought you might be able to make elements, the process was called "alchemy" people tried to make gold from other elements (for obvious reasons) but it cant be done.

What exactly are the ingredients needed to do this experiment? kind of sodium? bromathymyl blue -where can I get that? Any type of Potassium? I would like to duplicate this if possible. Neat experiment, thanks.

can someone make a video how to make sodium metal?

the alkali metals react more violently with most acids than water

That'd be even more awesome. I agree with you, quadraxis45

boring do it with cesium or rubidium cause it's cheaper

Ok, go get some hydrochloric acid and some potassium and do the expiriment and put the results on youtube. If you still have a face afterwards...
