What is a metal element that reacts vigorously with cold water?

I'll assume your talking about a vigorous reaction and not just an oxidation that most metals will undergo in water. All of the group one elements (sodium & potassium etc) and most of the group two elements (calcium etc) will react vigorously and spontaneously in hot water. Try be a little more specific next time.


What are the properties of lithium?

It is a solid. It is half as dense as water. It is the least dense metal. It is highly reactive.It reacts vigorously with water, tarnishes rapidly in air and is flammable.hardest alkali but soft enough to be cut using a knife. :)
