<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Potassium (K).

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alkali (Group 1) and Alkaline earth (Group 2) elements react with water to produce metal hydroxide and also releases hydrogen gas.

Reaction of group 1 elements with water:

2M+2H_2O\rightarrow 2MOH+H_2

Reaction of group 2 elements with water:

M+2H_2O\rightarrow M(OH)_2+H_2

From the given options:

Potassium (K): This metal belongs to Group 1 and readily reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

2K+2H_2O\rightarrow 2KOH+H_2

Tin (Sn): This element belongs to Group 14 and does not readily reacts with water.

Nickel (Ni): This element belongs to Group 10 and does not readily reacts with water.

Manganese (Mn): This element belongs to Group 7 and does not readily reacts with water.

Hence, the correct answer is potassium (K).

Describe what causes the greenhouse effect
alexira [117]

Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the "greenhouse effect"1 — warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping.


Hope this helps!
