What will happen if I mix an Alkali Metal with Mercury?

The Alkali Metals are:
Lithium (Li)
Sodium (Na)
Potassium (K)
Rubidium (Rb)
Caesium (Cs)
Francium (Fr)

And Mercury is Mercury (Hg)

The intensity of the reaction increases as you go down the list, with Lithium being the smallest reaction and Francium being the largest.
