Pure sodium reacts very violently when dropped into water; it produces an exothermic reaction that causes the sodium to bounce and skip across the surface of the water -- or if suddenly immersed, to explode.

Pure magnesium, when it is burning, also causes a violent reaction in water.

Naturally, performing either of these should not be attempted at home, especially not by anyone who isn't a chemist by trade!

Why is water a chemical and how?

Water is a compound because 2 elements are chemically bonded together within each molecule of water there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Because this compound is the same, same properties, no matter where it comes from or how you get it, it is said to be a chemical. Its chemical properties such as how it reacts to other substances are always the same for pure water.
