The alkali metals sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium ignite on contact with water.
That phenomenon is known as a reactive metal-water reaction. Certain metals, such as sodium and potassium, react violently with water, producing heat and hydrogen gas that can ignite. This reaction is highly exothermic and can lead to the metal bursting into flames.
The alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, and lithium, are known for reacting violently with water. When these metals come into contact with water, they produce hydrogen gas and can create a vigorous reaction, sometimes even resulting in sparks or flames.
The substance is likely sodium, a highly reactive metal that reacts violently with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The heat generated from this reaction can ignite the hydrogen gas, resulting in flames. Additionally, the reaction is so exothermic that it can be explosive.
The Alkali metals (group 1) and the Alkali Earth metals (group 2) react violently with water. Lithium and magnesium show slow reactions in boiling water. Sodium and potassium reacts violently with flames with cool water. The elements in higher periods (strontium, barium etc.) react explosively.Elements in the 1st group react rapidly with cold water. The rate of reaction increases down the period. The elements in the 2nd group also reacts with hot water or steam.
Group 2 metals (alkaline earth metals), calcium and barium would be examples
I believe that you think to alkali metals (ex. sodium).
Throw water on it. The logical answer.

Diamond can disintegrate if heated enough and will give off carbon dioxide on water and disappear Any of the alkaline metals will burst into flames
The answer is "No ". Mercury is a liquid (at normal temperatures and pressures) Sodium is a solid, but is quite soft and can be cut with a pen-knife. It is highly reactive and bursts into flame (i.e. it oxidises) on contact with the air.
A soft, light weight metal called sodium, which we never see. It bursts into flames in air and can even burn under water.

Neither of them are rare earth metals, meaning they they do not burst into flames when they come into contact with water. They do have different electronegativities, meaning that in the presence of an acid, one will accept the other's electrons (through a long chain of reactions), and are metals to allow easy conduction of electrons.

sodium, potassium, rubidiumSodium 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.
