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.


Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?

Yes


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 family of elements is very reactive to water?

Alkali metals and earth alkali metals do react strongly with water.(Lithium, ..., Caesium) (Beryllium, ..., Barium)


Why are group 1 metals knowns as alkali metals?

Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).

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.

How is hydrogen done?

For example hydrogen is released when alkali metals react with water.


Do alkali earth metals react with water?

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
