Answer:

The reaction combines the sodium with the hydrogen and oxygen in water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, and you get a lot of energy released as heat as well. This heat actually melts any remaining sodium that has not reacted yet, and ignites the hydrogen gas, so you get the bang and the flash.

Consider the following balanced equation:

Serga [27]

Zn⁰ + 2H⁺ ------> Zn²⁺ + H2⁰

H⁺ ion has oxidation number +1.
Zn²⁺ ion has oxidation number +2.
Atom of Zn has electric charge 0, and each hydrogen atom in the molecule H2 have oxidation number 0. So, Zn and each hydrogen atom in H2 have oxidation numbers equals "0".

Answer is
D. Zn and each hydrogen atom in H2

The alkali metals all react with water. which is the most reactive metal?

kifflom [539]

Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.

Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.
