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.

Many know me as the Ten Year Series book author for JC A-Level H2 Chemistry and O-Level Pure Chemistry. My 19+ years of coaching experience (since 1999) with more than 1500 students from 180+ JCs and Secondary Schools has allowed me to understand the true reasons why students are not able to perform well in Chemistry. Most importantly, my strength lies in using everyday analogies (even grandmothers can understand!) to simplify abstract concepts. Also, my teaching methodology has been designed to be fun, enjoyable and effective for my students. If you want to have an enjoyable time learning Chemistry and being motivated to excel in Chemistry, contact me today at 98287357
the gas form is hydrogin gas(H2)
i like videos
2Na+2H2O=2NaOH+H2
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

Na + H2O -> NaOH + H2 ?
Am i right this time? hehe.
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!

Na + H2O -> NaO + H2 ?
(I’m unsure. =/)
