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)

What does the atomic number of an element represent?
harkovskaia [24]
Hello!
Whenever you see an atomic number with an element, you know the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom, which determines the chemical of an element and its place on the periodic table.

For example, Hydrogen has only one proton, however, if you were to add say 78 more protons, you'd get gold!
