Chemistry / How reactive is Francium?

I believe Francium is the most reactive atom on the periodic table as mentioned by someone already. If you look at the reactivity series of metals, generally the reaction decreases as you go towards the right of the table towards the semimetals and the gases, and reactivity increases as you go downwards towards the heavier metals. So, Francium is a group one metal and at the very bottom, theoretical1y, it would be the most reactive. Its so reactive and dangerous that i think schools don't stock it.
