Best Answer

Generally alkaline metals (Group 1) such as lithium, sodium and potassium react with water and at the same time dissolve in it. During the reaction these alakaline metals form alkali solutions (litium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide) and releasing hydrogen gas. Apart from this calcium (belong to Group 2) too able to react and dissolve in water.

Why sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide dissolves in water and reacts with the water to form carbonic acid, and therefore, you get an acid-base neutralization reaction with sodium hydroxide.
