Question 106
The table shows some information about four elements. These elements are from the same group in the Periodic Table. They are given in the same order as in the Periodic Table.
| Element | Melting point in °C | Boiling point in °C | Reaction with water |
|---|---:|---:|---|
| lithium | 180 | 1342 | Gives off bubbles of gas and gives off heat |
| sodium | | 883 | |
| potassium | 63 | | Gives off gas and gives off so much heat that it catches fire |
| rubidium | 39 | 688 | Explodes with such force that the container cracks. |
Use the information about the reaction with water to predict the reaction between sodium and water.
