The Alkali metals (group 1) and the Alkali Earth metals (group 2) react violently with water. Lithium and magnesium show slow reactions in boiling water. Sodium and potassium reacts violently with flames with cool water. The elements in higher periods (strontium, barium etc.) react explosively.
Elements in the 1st group react rapidly with cold water. The rate of reaction increases down the period. The elements in the 2nd group also reacts with hot water or steam.
What else can I help you with?
Are metals soluble in water?
Metals are generally not soluble in water, with the exception of certain alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
What metals have weight in water?
Metals that have a density greater than the density of water will sink in water, while metals that have a density less than water will float. For example, metals like lead, gold, and silver will sink in water, while metals like aluminum and lithium will float.
What is the solubility of alkali metals in water?
The solubility of alkali metals in water is high. Alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium readily dissolve in water to form alkaline solutions.
Do aluminium foil absorb water?
No, not at all, no metals absorb water since they do not need any water for any purpose. But, porous materials consisting of metals may act as a water holder or transporter by capillary action
Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
What did the colonists protes t against?
They protested violentely against birtish taxes
What metals act violently with water?
Alkali metals (in group 1) do so: explosively! Please see the related video in links underneath
Are there any metals which do not act as a conductor?
All metals are electrically conductive.
What pollutants are regulated by the Clean Water Act?
The Clean Water Act regulates pollutants such as oil and grease, toxic metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals. These pollutants can come from various sources such as industrial discharges, agriculture runoff, and municipal sewage. The Act sets limits on the amount of these pollutants that can be discharged into water bodies to protect water quality and aquatic life.
Are metals soluble in water?
Metals are generally not soluble in water, with the exception of certain alkali metals and alkaline earth metals.
Do bases act vigorously with many metals?
no
What is the meaning of foundry?
The act, process, or art of casting metals., The buildings and works for casting metals.
Which metals does not react with water?
Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
What metals have weight in water?
Metals that have a density greater than the density of water will sink in water, while metals that have a density less than water will float. For example, metals like lead, gold, and silver will sink in water, while metals like aluminum and lithium will float.
What are unreactive metals?
metals which dont react with water or acid are called unreactive metals
How do alkali metals react to cold water?
alkali metals react violently in cold water
What is the solubility of alkali metals in water?
The solubility of alkali metals in water is high. Alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium readily dissolve in water to form alkaline solutions.
