Best answer

Metals which react violently with cold water are potassium (K) and sodium (Na).

The hydrogen gas produced during the reactions of these two metals with water immediately catches fire. Thus, these reactions are violent and exothermic.
The gas evolved during these reactions burns with a popping sound which confirms that the gas is hydrogen (H2).
