Narrowing the scope

Upon further research I have narrowed my topic to Alkali metals and Phosphine gas and their reactions with water. I have learned that as you go down the periodic table the alkali metals become more reactive. Then, hypothetically, Fr (francium) should be the most reactive. And as Rb and Cs are both less reactive and both explode in water I was very curious to learn how Fr would react. Because of this I was upset when I could find very little information on Fr and almost nothing on its reaction with water. On site said that it is unlikely that it has ever been reacted with water but I am quite hesitant to believe this is true. On thing I did find about Fr that was interesting was that scientist have estimated that at any given time there is about an ounce of Fr on the world's surface. Because of this any time that scientists wish to work with Fr they must make it themselves. Anyway when I started researching alkali metals and water I found a video clip from a TV show over in England called Brainiac. It was a very cool clip showing the alkali reactions in water. However, later I found a site that said that reporters in England found out that the best reactions on the clip (Rb and Cs) were fake. I kept the video on my link list because it has other reactions in it as well which have not been proven fake. I also put other videos of Rb and Cs to compare (whether or not these are real I guess we'll never know). I also found that Phosphine gas (one of the chemicals that ignites flares underwater) is highly explosive in many situations and can even spontaneously combust in air. Because of this I thought further research into its uses was necessary.
