what if you put a kg of every periodic element into a bucket -

Doesn't Californium cost ~$27 million per gram? 1 kilogram would be $27 billion... you'd better pick it up after dumping it.

ADDENDUM: And a kilogram of Francium would be $1 trillion, but Francium also has a half life of 22 minutes and scientists haven't created more than about 300 atoms of it at once.

that would be one big bucket, especially for things like a kilogram of all the gasses - oh, and your bucket will have solids liquids and gasses in it, so good luck dumping that on someone

scientists would hate you too because they have been making most of the 100+ elements in very small amounts, usually only a few atoms, so to waste a kilogram of it...

You'd probably die of ionizing radiation exposure within seconds. Both of you would be crispy critters. Also depending on the density of it and the isotopes it's possible it would go critical and you'd just instantly die in a titanic nuclear explosion.
If that isn't motivation OP, i don't know what is

I know but it would still be a fun prank to pull on your teacher or friend.

ok, I'll bite. Do you mean at ambient conditions? Not possible. Most synthetic elements would be gone before anything happened. If you mean get as many in the same phase as possible, that bucket would be at around 0 K, at which point the chemical properties are the least of your worries. Anyhow, Fluorine would kill you before you even had a chance to shit yourself.

Yeah, you can count me out on Astatine day.

The XKCD guy talked about doing something like this, in one of his books. It got to be a problem, because some of the elements on the bottom of the periodic table really don’t want to exist, so you got a situation involving “everything on the periodic table trying to turn into everything else as fast as possible.” A titanic nuclear explosion, basically.

That's a big fucking bucket. Have you taken a look at how many elements there are and the variation of how much they actually weigh per liter?

Assuming you'd compress them all, I can think of better ways to die, but not anything quite as efficient, albeit cost-ineffective.
