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
