The reactivity series is a list that shows the order of reactivity of some common metals. Calcium (Ca) Reacts vigorously with strong heating. Brick red flame observed and white solid formed. 2Ca + O 2 ...

When a small piece of sodium is placed in a petri dish with water and phenolphthalein, the sodium becomes a molten ball and darts around the dish, leaving a pink trail. The reactions of potassium, ...

Even if you slept your way through high school chemistry, there was typically one day that ensured you were awake. That's when, after an extensive safety lecture, the teacher brought out the alkali ...

When a chunk of alkali metal gets tossed into water, it explodes. But when a team of scientists gently placed a liquid drop of a sodium-potassium alloy on top of a water surface, they observed a ...

What if we could create metal made of water? Pure water itself is almost perfect as an insulator. Water found naturally in the world is a perfect conduit for electricity due to the impurities and ...

This experiment tests the reaction between sodium metal and dry water, revealing dramatic chemical behavior and the science ...

Scientists at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague have made a profound discovery that details the transformation from water into metal, even if it is only for just a brief moment in time. Pavel ...

The finding raises concerns for researchers developing water purification catalysts, as it suggests that some treatment ...
