Strontium and lithium dissolves in water forming the corresponding hydroxide and liberating hydrogen. However the reaction is exothermic and may cause explosion / fire.

What would react with water as lithium sodium and potassium?

Lithium, sodium, and potassium react vigorously with water to form hydroxides and release hydrogen gas. The reactivity increases as you go down the group from lithium to potassium, with potassium being the most reactive.

Is lithium less dense than water?

Technicaly, its lighter than oxigen, nitrogen, and all the other gasses, (i believe) exept hydrogen and helium. so yes, i SOULD be lighter than air, but if you let go of it, it will fall. but it is the lightest metal. So in conclusion, i should be lighter than air, but.isn't. how interesting!

Is lithium combustible?

Generally no. But it is corrosive, reactive and it cannot be extinguished with water if it burns. Lithium reacts with water to form a strong alkali which attacks skin. (It is the water in air that exposed metal reacts with.) Lithium is stored as a "bulk metal" in a petrolium liquid such as kerosene or naphtha. And those fluids are combustable. It is critically important to have your head on straight when working around this stuff, and even more so when handling it. Use the link to the Wikipedia article on lithium and check out the precautions.

How do you obtain strontium?

Erm, I seriously suggest that you don't try to obtain strontium, for several reasons. For one, it is almost ridiculouslyreactive to oxygen and water, so is usually found with other elements. Two, your body absorbs it like calcium, but instead of calcium, your bones are weakened by it to the point that it is the reason for bone cancer.However, if you insist...You will probably find strontium in a factory that manufactures telivisions and computer monitors. Both of the two use Strontium and Barium oxide to produce the best looking images. So if you feel in the mood to walk into a Microsoft factory and go steal a whole bunch of Strontium, be my guest. Otherwise, the only way you'll ever be able to see it is if you go and actually try to mine it at a mineral mine.But on the rarity of those, just let me put it this way: If you find yourself in Northern Mexico, Central Spain, Midwestern Turkey or Eastern China with a pickaxe, gloves and protective clothing, go for it. You'll probably make a good thousand bucks.
