Question

Name a highly reactive metal that can react very vigorously with cold water.

Write a word equation for the reaction.

Please help me thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

Second most reactive sodium (Na) vigorous reaction with cold water

Third most reactive calcium (Ca) less vigorous reaction with cold water

least reactive magnesium (Mg) slow reaction with cold water, vigorous with hot water

alkali metals

The alkali metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr) are the most reactive metals in the periodic table - they all react vigorously or even explosively with cold water, resulting in the displacement of hydrogen.
