Answer:
Chemists have long thought that tossing a chunk of alkali metal into water, a time-honored tradition still practiced by some lecturers and many chemistry thrill seekers, causes an explosion because the metal dissolves, generating an extreme amount of heat and transferring electrons to the water.

In its pure form, the soft, shiny metal reacts in water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Oh, and lots of heat; enough that the hydrogen gas ignites. That's the flash and bang for you. This increases the surface area of the metal in contact with water, generating a vigorous reaction.
