Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction of sodium with water is similar to that of potassium, except it is

less vigorous.

Sodium + Water ‡ Sodium hydroxide solution + Hydrogen gas

Calcium reacts moderately with water, forming hydrogen gas and the slightly  

soluble calcium hydroxide  (milky suspension).

Calcium + Water ‡ Calcium hydroxide + Hydrogen gas

Magnesium has almost no reaction with cold water.  It reacts slowly  with hot water to give the slightly soluble magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen.

Magnesium + Water ‡ Magnesium hydroxide + Hydrogen gas
