The metal which reacts most violently with cold water is

  • A.Calcium
  • B.Sodium
  • C.Magnesium
  • D.Potassium

Answer: D

Potassium reacts most violently with cold water.

Reactivity increases down Group 1 as the outer electron becomes easier to lose. Sodium melts into a ball and fizzes; potassium reacts fast enough that the hydrogen ignites with a lilac flame. Calcium reacts steadily and magnesium hardly at all with cold water.
