It will react vigourisly
Alkali metals are famous for their vigorous reactions with water, and these reactions become increasingly violent as one moves down the group. The Reaction of Alklali metals as folow: Alkali metal + water → Alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen gas
For example the reaction with water.
alkali metals react violently in cold water
I'm not sure what the temperature has to do with it, but : alkali metal + water --> salt + hydrogen e.g. lithium + water --> lithium hydroxide and hydrogen Hope this helps! xxx
1) Alkali metals are stored in oil to minimise reaction with oxygen or water, it's a physical barrier towards air but the alkali metals still gradually corrode a traces of oxygen and water diffuse through. The reaction of alkali metals with water gets more violent for elements lower in the group e.g. (Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs). Adding them to water will cause an explosion due to the extremely exothermic nature of reaction, and can be rather dangerous and some alkali metals can react violently with just moisture in the air. Most of the alkali metals float on the top of the water, depending on how big the alkali metal is determines the size of the reaction this is because they're less dense that water itself and also during the reaction the alkali metals give of hydrogen gas which is quite flammable. Alkali Metal + Water » Metallic Hydroxide + Hydrogen The francium would be like any other alkali metal, it would be very violent like the other alkali metals.
Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
Alkali metals exist only as salts.
This is the first column in the Periodic Table. There are six metals that are "Alkali Metals" and six that are "Alkali Earth Metals". The Alkali metals are:LithiumSodiumPotassiumRubidiumCaesiumFranciumThese metals get more reactive as you go down the list...Hope I helped :D
strong acids like sulphuric acid reacted with metals like zincwater reacted with alkali metalselectrolysisetc.
They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
