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.


Do sodium ion reacts with water?

Sodium ion exist in water as the product of a dissociation; sodium (metal) react violently with water


Water reacts with sodium metal to produce hydroxide and hydrogen gas along with heat and light sodium What are reactants in this chemical change?

Reactants: sodium (metal, Na) and water (H2O) Products: Hydrogen (gas, H2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH)


Sodium is under water metal?

No sodium is an extremely reactive metal that reacts violently with water. Sodium is in fact one of only two metals that is less dense than water, meaning that it can float on water. Whether a metal is underwater or not does not change its identity.


Which is a compound oxygen sodium water or iron?

Water is the compound that contains oxygen and sodium is a metal element. Iron is a metal element as well.


When sodium metal reacts with water what gas is released?

Hydrogen gas is released when sodium metal reacts with water. This reaction is highly exothermic and produces sodium hydroxide as well.


Is sodium an acid or alkali in water?

Sodium is neither an acid nor an alkali in water. When sodium is dissolved in water, it forms sodium hydroxide (a strong alkali) and hydrogen gas. Sodium itself is a metal and is not considered acidic or alkaline in its pure form.


What is the use for sodium?

Sodium is a soft metal and can be cut with knife. Sodium metal is used in chemistry lab, sometimes in fireworks. Sodium when exposed to water, reacts vigorously.


Can you drink water if it has sodium in it?

No because the sodium metal is then burned in the water. This makes sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas which you shouldn't have at all.
