Does the material react chemically with plain water and how violently it reacts:

  • sand, sugar, glass, chlorine gas, motor oil, gold, and TNT are not reactive with water.
  • iron is just barely reactive with water, slowly rusting over a period of years (for practical purposes this is considered as not reactive).
  • magnesium is very slightly reactive with water, it slowly produces hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide.
  • baking powder mixture is mildly reactive with water at room temperature, giving off carbon dioxide gas harmlessly.
  • calcium is fairly reactive with water, producing a white calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide and hydrogen.
  • calcium carbide is significantly reactive with water, giving off acetylene gas which can be ignited.
  • aluminum phosphide is significantly reactive with water, giving off highly toxic phosphine gas.
  • lithium, sodium, and potassium are violently reactive with water, giving off hydrogen gas and often spontaneously igniting the gas. The metal may melt and spray out molten droplets! The water becomes dangerously alkaline with dissolved lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide respectively and the water may boil!
  • etc.

Is reactivity to water a physical property of copper?

Yes, reactivity to water is a chemical property of copper, not a physical property. Copper does not react with water at room temperature, but it can slowly react with water when exposed to high temperatures or steam to form copper oxide.

What element has a similar chemical reactivity in water as K?

Lithium (Li) has a similar chemical reactivity in water as potassium (K) because they both belong to the same group (alkali metals) in the periodic table. Both lithium and potassium react vigorously with water, liberating hydrogen gas and forming alkaline solutions.

How non metallic and metallic reacts with water?

Non-metallic elements, such as carbon and sulfur, do not typically react with water. Metallic elements, on the other hand, can react with water to form metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas. The reactivity of a metal with water depends on factors such as the metal's position in the reactivity series and the concentration of water.


Is react with water is chemical change or property?

A reaction with water is a chemical process (or change); but reactivity is a property of a substance.
