Which of the following reacts with cold water vigorously?
Carbon
Sodium
Magnesium
Sulphur

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 8

Correct Answer: (b) Sodium

Explanation: Sodium is a very reactive metal, so it reacts violently even with cold water.

[Note: The vigour (or intensity) of reaction of a metal with water depends on its chemical reactivity.]
