sodium, potassium, rubidium
Sodium reacts very quickly with water. All Alkali metals, the first column of the Periodic Table excluding Hydrogen (H), react violently with water. The lower the row, the more explosive the reaction.

What metal burns readily underwater?
The metal that burns readily underwater is sodium. It can ignite easily underwater, and it can be incredibly difficult to extinguish.
What metal burns Red Orange?
barium chloride
Does hydrogen cause pollution when it burns?
No, hydrogen produces water (H2O) when it burns.
Can you name a fuel which burns without giving water vapour?
coal is a fossil fuel that burns without giving water vapour.
Word equations for metal reactions?
metal + acid -> salt + water metal + oxygen -> metal oxide metal oxide + acid -> salt + water metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen Metal + Steam -> Metal Oxide + Hydrogen Metal + Acid -> Metal salt + Hydrogen
Metal that burns bright in oxygen but does not react with water?
Magnesium.
What metal burns with bright flame but doesn't react with water?
Magneseum. an Alkali earth metal
What is a metal that burns brightly with oxygen but does no react with water?
You think probable to magnesium.
What light metal is extracted from sea water and burns with a white flame?
magnesium
Which metal burns in air but only react very slowly with water?
Copper burns and reacts in the air to form copper oxide, however i htink it reacts very slowly with water. Hope that helped ;)
What metal burns in air but only reacts slowly in water?
It depends what you mean by slowly! Calcium burns in air and reacts fairly quietly with water, certainly much more slowly than the alkali metals do.
What metal burns gold?
Aluminum
What metal burns readily underwater?
The metal that burns readily underwater is sodium. It can ignite easily underwater, and it can be incredibly difficult to extinguish.
What metal that burns with a white flame?
Magnesium
What is a description of the characteristics of sodium?
Alkali metal, reacts violently with water (spontaneous combustion), silvery white, burns bright yellow/orange.
What metal reacts quickly with water and acid?
Metals that react well with water: Sodium - fizzes Potassium - burns Caesium - explodes Metals that react well with acids: Magnesium
Why do hydrocarbons burn away but metal combustion leaves ashes?
When a hydrocarbon burns, it reacts with oxygen to form carob dioxide and water vapor. As both of these are gasses, they wil drift away. When a metal react with oxygen, it forms a metal oxide, and metal oxides are solid.
