There are several elements that explode in water. The most commonly known ones are a particular group of metals. They are listed in ascending order of explosiveness. Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Rubidium (Rb), Caesium (Cs) and Francium (Fr). The last of these;Francium, is so uncommon in nature that there is only an estimated 30g in the entire of the earth's crust.

What element is silvery-grey metallic solid and sits on water until it explodes?
mecury
What element forms an alkali when added to water?
lithium
What element formed when a hydrogen bomb explodes?
helium
When added to water what element produces acid?
Chlorine & other halogens.
Why does caesium explode in water?
Cesium is, except for Francium, the most reactive element of the alkaline metals. It explodes in water because it rapidly evolves Hydrogen gas and heat. The explosion results from the hydrogen gas blowing the boiling water out of the container and then igniting.
What colour flame does lithium produce when added to water?
It explodes actually.
What element is silvery-grey metallic solid and sits on water until it explodes?
mecury
What explodes in water that can destroy something?
Sodium when placed in water explodes.
What element is added to drinking and pool water?
chlorine
What element forms an alkali when added to water?
lithium
What element formed when a hydrogen bomb explodes?
helium
What element explodes with its interaction with oxygen?
For example hydrogen.
What is an example of an element that when in its elemental form are very dangerious but when combined with another element makes a useful compound?
sodium, combined with chlorine, it makes salt, but in pure form, it explodes in water
