Identify the metal

Identify the metal \( M \)

  • A. Calcium
  • B. Sodium
  • C. \) zinc
  • D. Iron

Step-by-step solution

The question lacks context, so it is impossible to definitively identify metal M. However, based on common chemistry problems where a metal reacts vigorously with water to produce a hydroxide and hydrogen gas, sodium is a typical candidate. Without additional information, this is a plausible guess.
