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.
Reactive metals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium react quickly with water to produce hydrogen gas. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid also react quickly with metals to produce metal salts and hydrogen gas.
A metal oxide reacts with water to produce a metal hydroxide.
Metal oxides are basic in nature and react with acids to form salts and water. Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature and react with bases to form salts and water. Metals generally react with acids to form salts and hydrogen gas.
Potassium is the metal that reacts most vigorously with water at 25C.
It reacts with acid but not soluble in water.
Metals that react well with water: Sodium - fizzes Potassium - burns Caesium - explodes Metals that react well with acids: Magnesium
Reactive metals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium react quickly with water to produce hydrogen gas. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid also react quickly with metals to produce metal salts and hydrogen gas.
Sodium is a metal that reacts quickly with cold water only when it is finely powdered. When the surface area of the sodium is increased by grinding it into a fine powder, it can react with the water at a faster rate due to the increased contact between the metal and the water molecules.
A metal oxide reacts with water to produce a metal hydroxide.
Acids can react with metal oxides and metal hydroxides to form salts and water. This type of reaction is known as a neutralization reaction. For example, sulfuric acid can react with sodium hydroxide to form sodium sulfate and water.
The 1st group elements i.e. Lithium,Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium are all low density metals and they react violently with water.
Metal oxides are basic in nature and react with acids to form salts and water. Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature and react with bases to form salts and water. Metals generally react with acids to form salts and hydrogen gas.
When an active metal reacts with hydrochloric acid, it produces metal chloride salt and hydrogen gas. The metal chloride is typically soluble in water and the reaction is accompanied by the evolution of hydrogen gas bubbles.
Potassium is the metal that reacts most vigorously with water at 25C.
The metal that reacts with acids is likely to be reactive, such as alkali metals like sodium or potassium. These metals are not suitable for dishwashing as they can react violently with water or acids, producing heat and potentially causing burns or explosions. It is important to use non-reactive metals such as stainless steel for dishwashing.
the alkali metals bases reacts with the acids to form salt and water example NaOH+HCl=H2O+NaCl
Lead is a moderately active metal. It dissolves slowly in water and in most cold acids. It reacts more rapidly with hot acids. It does not react with oxygen in the air readily and does not burn.
