The element is sodium. Sodium atoms have a low electron affinity and will replace hydrogen atoms when placed into water. The reaction of sodium and water produces hydrogen gas that is ignited by the heat of the reaction. It should be noted that almost any element in the alkali and alkaline-earth groups will replaced hydrogen in water.

What is the products of sulphuric acid plus silver?
There is no reaction. Silver is less reactive than hydrogen, so it cannot replace the hydrogen in sulfuric acid.

Why are claims that nuclear fusion occurs at room temperature unrealistic?
Actually room temperature nuclear fusion has been verified by reputable scientists, but it only works with muonic-hydrogen. This is hydrogen with its electron replaced by a muon, a particle identical to the electron except that it weighs 200 times as much. Because of the extra mass the muon orbits the proton much closer than the electron does. This allows muonic-hydrogen nuclei to collide and fuse at room temperature. However it takes far more energy to make the muons and replace them for the electrons than can be obtained from the fusion.

Why metals replace hydrogen from acids while as non metals don't?
It has to do with the ease with which an element is oxidized. Hydrogen is one of the most easily oxidized of all nonmetals and so is not easily replaced by one in an acid. Nonmetals tend to be reduced rather than oxidized. By contrast, most metals are mor easily oxidized than hydrogen.
