Sodium is most reactive with water and it reacts to give sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
It is normally advisable to use only a small piece of sodium since when a bigger size is used, explosion is likely to occur.
The outermost electron in sodium is easily lost and it forms a cation with a net positive charge of +1.
During these reaction, fizzing sound is produced as the sodium darts as it moves in a silvery ball on top of water.
