Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sodium is a highly reactive metal and easily dissolves in water, releasing hydrogen gas and producing an alkaline solution. Iron, aluminum, and silicon are less reactive and do not dissolve easily in water. Diamond is also highly resistant to water as it is a covalently bonded network solid with strong intermolecular forces.
