Answer:

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. This is an exothermic reaction. Sodium metal is heated and may ignite and burn with a characteristic orange flame.

Answer:

Sodium is a very highly reactive metal (as it is placed above Hydrogen in the reactivity series)which violently reacts and burns when comes in contact with water.
