Hello!❤️

Take a beaker,half fill it with water. Cut a small piece of sodium metal.Dry it using a filter paper and wrap it in a small piece of Cotton. Put the piece of sodium wrapped in Cotton into the beaker.We observe that the beaker becomes hot immediately. We test the solution with red and blue litmus paper. It turns red litmus blue. This activity indicates that sodium is highly reactive and it reacts vigorously with water with a lot of heat generation. The solution is basic in nature.

Hope this helps

Answer:

HEY MATE HERE IS THE ANSWER

odium is a silver metal that is very reactive. When exposed oxygen in the air, an outer coding of sodium oxide will form. Simply drop a piece of sodium into a cup of water. When dropped in water, sodium reacts to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The sodium will constant move around in the water. Sometimes the heated reaction will cause the nitrogen gas to ignite. Under the right condition, it may even cause an explosion.
