Sodium and CuSO4*5H2O Impact sensitive
i tried putting a small amount of sodium(around 1mm^3)on a 'anvil'(just a large sledge hammer), then pressing with another hammer to flat it out and I
put some copper sulfate on the sodium with a plastic spoon. After hitting the mixture explodes(or defragate I'm not really sure) really loudly(my ears
didn't ring but it was louder than a large balloon popping). This was kinda surprising. I got the idea after dropping sodium in a copper sulfate
solution which seems to be more violent than dropping into distilled or tap water.
There are no residue left aside from excess copper sulfate.
I think what happens is that the sodium reacts with the water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen and reduces the copper sulfate to copper or copper
sulfide.

try dehydrating the copper sulfate first, its dehydrated once its grey, think its just an exotic flashpowder you produced
mean to say one guy on youtube who held a multi-kilogramme ampoule of cesium at one time tried potassium perchlorate with cesium metal, alkali metals
reacts sorta like your regular pyrotechnic metals, just a lot more violent
