AI Generated Solution

To explain why the reaction of calcium with water is less violent compared to other metals, we can break down the reasoning into several steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Reaction Calcium (Ca) reacts with water (H2O) to form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2). The chemical equation for this reaction is: \[ \text{Ca} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Ca(OH)}_2 + \text{H}_2 \] ...
