Calcium, strontium and barium These all react with cold water with increasing vigour to give the metal hydroxide and hydrogen. Strontium and barium have reactivities similar to lithium in Group 1 of the Periodic Table. Calcium, for example, reacts fairly vigorously with cold water in an exothermic reaction.
