Yes. Explosively. They will react to produce a metal hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and a bunch of heat. Here's the equation for sodium (Na, #11) reacting with water:
2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2
The reaction is violently exothermic to the point where the hydrogen gas ignites and explodes, which itself is a separate reaction:
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O
What else can I help you with?
What family of elements is very reactive to water?
Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)
What happens when metal reacts with metal?
Alkali metals reacts violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen; alkali earth metals react with water but no so violent.Other metals doesn't generally react with water at room temperature.
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.
Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?
Yes
What is the difference between alkali metals and alkali earth metals?
Alkali metals are from Group 1 of the Periodic table and have a single electron in their outer shell. Alkaline-Earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table and have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
How do alkali metals react to cold water?
alkali metals react violently in cold water
When alkali earth metals react with water what do they produce?
When alkali earth metals react with water, they produce metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas. The reaction is generally violent and releases heat.
What family of elements is very reactive to water?
Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)
Do metals react with water?
Some, such as the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and a few others do. But most don't.
What happens when metal reacts with metal?

What are metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals?
Transition metals such as copper, silver, and gold are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. These metals are less likely to react vigorously with water or air compared to alkali and alkaline-earth metals.
Which group on the periodic table contain metals that react vigorously to water?
Alkali Earth metals are the most reactive metals on the periodic table.
Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?
Yes
What is the difference between alkali metals and alkali earth metals?
Alkali metals are from Group 1 of the Periodic table and have a single electron in their outer shell. Alkaline-Earth metals are in group 2 of the periodic table and have 2 electrons in their outer shell.
Are alkaline-earth metals reactive?
Alkaline-earth metals are less reactive compared to alkali metals, but they still react with water and oxygen to form oxides and hydroxides. They are more reactive than transition metals but less reactive than alkali metals.
Why s and p block elements are called alkali and alkaline earth metals respectively?
because they when react with water
