Answer:
This is an exothermic reaction. Sodium metal is heated and may ignite and burn with a characteristic orange flame. Hydrogen gas released during the burning process reacts strongly with oxygen in the air. A number of sodium compounds do not react as strongly with water, but are strongly water soluble.
