A liquid metal! Sodium meets Potassium
Sodium and potassium are both solid, but pressed together they melt into a liquid alloy called NaK, even at room temperature!
The result
- What you get
- NaK (a liquid alloy)
- When it happens
- At room temperature
Fun fact from Fizzy: NaK has been used to carry heat away in some nuclear reactors.
🥽 NaK can catch fire in air and explodes with water. Only experts handle it.
