Question

Which of the following reacts most vigorously with water? A) Alkali Metal B) Alkaline Earth Metal C) Transition Metal D) Halogen E) Noble Gas

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Alkali Metal

Explanation:

Water is, of course, a compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen, and its structure really like to work with metals to react and oxidize. Drop a little bit of Sodium in water and the bubbles of Hydrogen that form around it, instantly, will usually raise it to the surface—and the heat of the reaction will then usually ignite the Hydrogen with air.

The lone Electron in the Alkali metal’s outer shell is seriously unstable all by itself. It is only loosely held by the nucleus, and has a lot of energy to exchange as soon as it find a willing acceptor, such as a Hydroxide formed when the homewrecking Sodium kicks out a Hydrogen from water.
