The reactivity of the active metals can be demonstrated by dropping pieces of lithium, sodium, and potassium into water. Lithium reacts slowly with water, sodium reacts much more rapidly, and potassium reacts violently. ... In the course of this reaction, each sodium atom will lose an electron to form an Na+ ion.
