Alkali metals react violently with water.

An observation report available in the Office of Scientific and Technical Information's website affirms that alkali metals react violently with water.

An observation report available in the Office of Scientific and Technical Information's website affirms that alkali metals react violently with water.The report reveals that alkali metals react violently with cold water because hydrogen atoms in the water liberate(release gas or energy) as a result of a chemical reaction. The observation study outlines that the hydrogen that hits the water releases negatively charged particles called electrons which generate heat and induce an explosion(Refer Page No:14).

The description of alkali metals onCAMEO Chemicals' website states that alkali metal alloys in forms of liquids or solids would react vigorously

with water and that physical contact to alkali results in burns in skin and eyes, and is toxic.
