Something about chemicalreactions.
Let me show you how the reaction takes place.
All of the alkali metals are notable for their vigorous reactions with water, and these reactions become increasingly vigorous when going down their column in the periodic table towards the heaviest alkali metals, such as caesium. Their chemical reactions with water are as follows:
All of the alkali metals are notable for their vigorous reactions with water, and these reactions become increasingly vigorous when going down their column in the periodic table towards the heaviest alkali metals, such as caesium. Their chemical reactions with water are as follows:
Alkali metal + water → Alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen gas
Alkali metals float on the top of the water as a very very hot ball, the size of the alkali metal is determines the effect of the reaction, hydrogen gas, which is quite flammable is released.(It looks like a rocket :D)
