It is soft to the extent it can be cut by a knife. It appears grey in colour but is actually silvery except that the surface would react very quickly with oxygen in air. It is an alkali metal and reacts in water to increase the pH of the water. However, it can explode even in cold water.

Does anyone know some quantitative and qualitative properties of sodium?
Here are some qualitative properties of sodium: it is a soft, silvery white metal which is highly reactive. It burns very energetically and also reacts violently with water (forming sodium hydroxide and hydrogen). It can only be stored safely in oil, which insulates it from both air and water. It is a necessary element for human biochemistry, and forms a part of table salt, which is sodium chloride. Here are some quantitative properties of sodium: the sodium atom has only one stable isotope which contains 11 protons and 12 neutrons and of course 11 electrons. It has one electron in its outer shell.
