There are a number of elements which will burn in air (if they are ignited) but which will not burn under water. An example is carbon. Coal, which is made mostly of carbon, burns in air but not under water.
Some element in the Periodic Table should always be kept sealed because of their high reactivity. Element such as cesium is so reactive with the water in the air that it would explode. Generally, the alkali are metals that are found only in compounds due to their high reactivity with components in the air.
Elements that catch on fire in air are called pyrophoric.
Water itself, cannot catch on fire. But, a waterway that is filled with toxic and corrosive chemicals can. Just any of the factories that dumped their wastes into the Cuyahoga river near in Cleveland, Ohio in the 1960's what chemicals they poured into the only river in history to catch on fire.
electricity will break the oxygen hydrogen bond of water and open flame will ignite the hydrogen fire from water electrolosis of water
White Phosphorus
Potassium.
no, it is an element therefore it cannot be electrical energy
water
Earth, fire, air, and water.
Many combustible substances (substances that will burn) are lighter (less dense) than water and will float - paper, wood and gasoline are a few examples. When ignited (set on fire), these substances will continue to float, and so will the fire.
water,earth,fire,air
no
K catches fire in water .
Sodium
jump in the water
Put water on the coal
water
YES oF cOURSE. Sodium Catches.
because it is highly reactive
Because water has high ignition temperature so it doesn't catches fire whether it is on any surface or not.
It catches on fire easily. Cotton growing uses a lot of water.
The potassium catches on fire and then explodes. Seriously. Don't try it.
