Trimethylindium is extremely reactive towards oxygen and water. With low concentrations of oxygen (ppb to ppm to a few %), it immediately forms dimethylindium methoxide (Me2InOMe) as the first reaction product by insertion of O between In and C. With increased concentrations of oxygen (several %, atmospheric air or pure oxygen), it burns or explodes. Similar insertion reactions are expected with other elements of Group 16 (such as S, Se and Te) with highly vigorous outburst at higher concentrations of S, Se and Te. Trimethylindium reacts readily and vigorously with water to form Me2InOH and Methane (CH4) gas if the concentration of H2O is very small (upto 1000's ppm). With high concentrations of water (% level), trimethylindium can burn and often explode leaving behind In(OH)3, In2O3 as the final products. Extremely violent reactions of trimethylindium are also known with oxidizers (such as H2O2, KMnO4, HNO3, Bleach) and halogenated compounds (CCl4, CBrCl3, CBr2Cl2, CHCl3, C2Cl6 and halocarbon oils).

Which elements are most likely to react with other elements?
The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are highly reactive in water, and, only slightly less reactive in Oxygen. Group 2 elements are also quite reactive in Oxygen, but not quite as reactive as those elements in Group 1.
Is sodium a very reactive metal?
Yes sodium is very reactive metal.Just because of this it is kept in kerosene or some another oil because it is very reactive with oxygen and water.
Why phosphorus stored in water?
Phosporous is stored in water because it is very reactive non metal and when exposed to air it catches fire easily and ignites.To prevent contact with atmospheric oxygen it is stored in water.
Why is water harmless and hydrogen peroxide is poisionous given that both are compounds of hydrogen and oxygen?
Because the extra oxygen atom makes peroxide much more chemically reactive and unstable than water.
Why phosphorus stored in water whereas sodium stored in kerosene?
Because phosphorus is very reactive non metal. It catches fire if exposed to air. To prevent the contact of phosphorus with atmospheric oxygen,it is stored in water. Whereas,sodium is very reactive. It reacts vigorously with oxygen and water. A lot of heat is generated in the reaction. It is, therefore,stored in kerosene
What react with potassium?
all of the halogens: bromine, fluorine, oxygen, chlorine and iodine. and it is highly reactive with water.
Which is reactive cesium or francium?
In reaction with water and oxygen Fr is more reactive than Cs
Which elements are most likely to react with other elements?
The elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table are highly reactive in water, and, only slightly less reactive in Oxygen. Group 2 elements are also quite reactive in Oxygen, but not quite as reactive as those elements in Group 1.
Why is ozone used to filter water?
Ozone is reactive molecule ready to give oxygen atom. This oxygen oxidizes to purify water.
Why is water not reactive?
Apart, Oxygen and Hydrogen are not stable, but when they combine they become stable, and when something is stable, it is not reactive (unless you force it to be)
Why is water reactive?

Why is iron not used on drainpipes?
The drained material contains acidic materials which are highly reactive towards Iron and Iron is easily corroded by water and oxygen so iron is not suitable for drainage pipes.
Does protactinium react with water?
Protactinium is a reactive metal; protactinium react with water vapours, acids, oxygen, halogens,etc.
Is sodium a very reactive metal?
Yes sodium is very reactive metal.Just because of this it is kept in kerosene or some another oil because it is very reactive with oxygen and water.
Most of the hydrogen in the Earth's atmosphere is combined with oxygen as water What might you conclude by that fact?
That oxygen and hydrogen are highly reactive.
How reactive is actinium?
Actinium react with oxygen, water, hydrogen, sulfur, halogens, etc.
Which element combines elements easiest with potassium?
Potassium is most reactive with the element Oxygen. However, it should be noted that it is most reactive with a non-element: Water.
