2 metals that react with water?

Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium are the main alkali metals, which all react fairly spectacularly with water (Cesium must be kept in argon gas to stop it reacting with air).


When the alkali metals react with they make a gas called?

It depends on what they are reacting with.


What are Two reactive metals that float in water?

The alkaline metals react with water, and Lithium and Sodium float on the water whilst reacting.


How do you know if one metal is reacting faster than the other one?

There is different ways. Either you make an experiment yourself by reacting the different metals with a substance and then stopping the time it took for each reaction to stop ( quicker = more reactive) Or you can use already done experiments and look for your metal in there. Also there are columns of reactivity for metals. These tell you which metals are more reactive. The more reactive ones are the ones that are going to react faster. THis can be essential when choosing the right metal for a reaction.


What is a property of metals?

Physical properties of metals include: luster, malleability, and ductility. Chemical properties include: forming cations, and reacting with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.


Is reacting a metal with water the same a reacting it with oxygen?

Not all metals react with water, but some, such as metallic sodium, do react quite vigorously with water. In a sense it is true that when metals react with water it is the same as reacting with oxygen, because the water molecule (H2O) does contain oxygen, and it is the oxygen in the water molecule with which metals react. Metals do not react with the hydrogen content of the water molecule, so when metal reacts with water, hydrogen gas is produced as a byproduct. It just bubbles out of the water.

Which metals are as reactive as alkali metals?

Halogens: When reacting with halogens, these metals create metal halides. Halide refers to a compound that is one part halogen. These reactions would look similar to


Why does lemon juice make metals rust?

It contains an acidic sequestring agent corrosively reacting with metals. (citric acid)


What family is known for reacting violently with water?

The alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, and lithium, are known for reacting violently with water. When these metals come into contact with water, they produce hydrogen gas and can create a vigorous reaction, sometimes even resulting in sparks or flames.


What happens when transition metals react with the air?

Metals react with air in a form called oxidizing. This is caused because the oxygen molecules are reacting with the surface of the metal.


What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?

Potassium, sodium, and lithium are softer and more reactive than other metals. They are typically stored in oil or kerosene to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.
