What do you call a metal bursts imto flames in 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.


What metals bursts into flames when in contact with water?

Sodium and potassium are two metals that can burst into flames when in contact with water. This is because they react violently with water, producing hydrogen gas which ignites due to the heat generated.

What valence electrons has in rubidium?

Rubidium , like sodium and potassium, is a Group (I) metallic element. Like sodium and potassium, it has only ONE valence electron, which it readily ionisses to become Rb^(+) cation. Because it is further down the Group(I) it is more reactive than sodium or potassium, by that one electron ionising off extremely quickly, when reacting with water to liberate hydrogen , which in turn because of the energy release , the hydrogen ignites , with a violent bang. If in an experiment, have the largest tank of water possible , the smallest (pin head sized), pellet of rubidium, a glass-screen, and preferably outdoors. Drop, using tongs, the pellet into the water from behind the screen, and it will instantaneously bang.
