When you say alpha decay, it means that the reaction would yield alpha particles. An alpha particle, α, is like helium; it has 2 protons and 4 as its mass number. So, the balanced nuclear reaction is:

Let the first number written after the element symbol be the superscript and the number after the comma be the subscript.

<em>Am241,95 --> α4,2 + Np237,93</em>

Reaction of sodium with water

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).

2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
