Hi!

The answer for your question is:  Generally, water reacts with active metals to produce hydrogen gas and the corresponding metal hydroxide.

Explanation:

Water reacts violently with active metals [like Sodium,Potassium,etc.]. On dropping a small piece of such metals into water, it starts running around on the surface of water, making a crackling sound, and then starts burning. It is really fun to watch [fireballs walking on water].

Looking into the chemical side, sodium instantaneously reacts with water to form sodium oxide first, which on reaction with water, forms sodium hydroxide and releases hydrogen gas.

Generally:

Na(s) + H₂O(l) → NaOH(aq) + H₂(g)

I hope it helps ^_^
