I'll assume your talking about a vigorous reaction and not just an oxidation that most metals will undergo in water.

All of the group one elements (sodium & potassium etc) and most of the group two elements (calcium etc) will react vigorously and spontaneously in hot water. Try be a little more specific next time.

What is the eleventh element?

The eleventh element on the periodic table is sodium, with the symbol Na. It has an atomic number of 11 and is a soft, silvery-white metal that reacts vigorously with water. Sodium is commonly found in salt and various other minerals.


What metal reacts more vigorously than calcium?

Sodium reacts more vigorously than calcium when placed in water. When sodium comes into contact with water, it quickly forms sodium hydroxide and releases hydrogen gas, resulting in a rapid and often explosive reaction.


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.


What metal acts more vigorously with water lithium or sodium?

Sodium acts more vigorously with water compared to lithium. When sodium reacts with water, it produces more heat and releases hydrogen gas at a faster rate than lithium.


A metal which reacts least vigorously with water 1.Zn 2.Mg 3.Fe 4.Al?

Aluminum (Al) reacts least vigorously with water compared to zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe). Aluminum forms a protective oxide layer on its surface when exposed to water, which inhibits further reaction.
