Group 1 metals, such as sodium and potassium, are often used in fireworks because they produce vibrant colors when burned. For example, sodium emits a bright yellow flame, while potassium creates a lilac color. Their reactivity allows for the rapid release of energy, enhancing the visual effects of the fireworks. Additionally, these metals can easily form compounds that contribute to the overall chemical reactions in pyrotechnics.

Could a fire start under water?

It is possible for a fire to "burn" under water, but it's probably an "unusual case" where a combustible metal is involved. Some metals, like the alkali metals from Group 1 of the periodic table, will react with water. They can actually "burn" under water because they react with the water taking oxygen. And if you guessed that water cannot be used to extinguish these metals if they are burning in air, you would be correct.
