Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When group 1 (1A) metals react with water, they produce the metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The correct equation for this reaction is: 2M(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2M(OH)(aq) + H2(g) Choice B is the only one that correctly shows the formation of metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas as products.
