Answer:

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. ... During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour.

Explanation:

sodium sodium is a very reactive metal hence it reacts explosively with water and produce water soluble alkali NAOH.. and due to reactive nature of Na it is stored in krosene and it's reactive nature is due to the readily lossing electrons.. ( hope this liked by you)
