Lithium, sodium, potassium. rubidium, cesium, francium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium all react with varying degree of vigor with water to produce hydrogen gas. Other metals also will but not as vigorously.

∙ 15y agoThe elements lithium (Li), potassium (K) and sodium (Na) could all be described this way. They are all less dense than water so they will float, and they all react violently to form the alkaline base and hyrdogen gas.

What is a period 5 element that reacts explosively with water?
Rubidium.
When cesium metal reacts explosively with water does it go through a physical change or a chemical change?
chemical
How do you determine specific heat for sodium without water?
Sodium reacts explosively with water, so it is not advisable to do a specific heat experiment with water. Instead use a non-exploding solution such as naphtha or a chlorobezene.
What element forms when Calcium hydroxide reacts with hydrogen phosphate?
Calcium phospate and water:)
Sodium metal is normally stored under water?
Nope. Sodium reacts violently with water. The pure stuff is normally stored under oil.
What is a period 5 element that reacts explosively with water?
Rubidium.
What element reacts explosively when it comes in contact with water?
Sodium will, and some others will too.
When cesium metal reacts explosively with water does it go through a physical change or a chemical change?
chemical
What metal reacts with water to cause an explosion?
there are some alkali metals. It can be sodium or potassium.
Why have many high school's banned the use of potassium?
It reacts explosively with water
Why Sodium metal is not treated with water?
Sodium is an unstable element which reacts violently when in contact with water. Sodium added to water can result in explosions.
Why is hydrogen inert at room temperature?
Hydrogen is not inert it reacts explosively with Oxygen to create water H2O
Is sodium azide reactive?
Yes. Readily reacts with water. Decomposes liberating N2 explosively when heated.
When a metal oxide reacts with an acid?
When a metal oxide reacts with an acid a slat and water are formed.
Which metal reacts quickly with water and acids?
The most reactive metal is francium (Fr). However, it is impossible to gather any sufficient quantity of francium to demonstrate this reactivity. The other alkali metals, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium will all react rapidly, even explosively with water.
What is unsual about potassium?
Pure potassium (Element K on the periodic table) Is the most reactive metal. So reactive that it will spontaneously oxidise when exposed to the air and will explosively combust when placed in water.
Can sodium metal become water?
No, sodium metal cannot become water. Sodium is a highly reactive metal, and when it comes into contact with water, it reacts violently and releases hydrogen gas. This reaction can be dangerous and should be avoided.
