We learned about Metals & Its Reactivity Series.
Sodium (Na) is considered a very reactive metal and it will reacts vigorously when added into water.
Video below shows the “mini explosions” that occurs when a small piece of sodium is added into a large basin of water.
Alternatively, you can check out this specific link to this youtube video.

Hey Terence,
Good try but your suggested answer is not the correct one.
Come on..think about it and try again…
Metal + Water –>> A__________ + H2
PS: Try it again!

hey Terence,
Well Done. Spot On!
Are you doing Pure Chemistry or Combine Science (Chem)?
I will be conducting a public Chemistry Workshop on Redox & Electrolysis for Pure Chemistry students. Join me if you are not able to score well in Redox and/or Electrolysis yet. Btw, you need to know Electrolysis well, cos it comes out almost every year.
All The Best To Your Academic Success in Chemistry,
Sean
Master Trainer
