Explanation:
Sodium (alkali metal) reacts violently with cold water: 2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂ + heat. Copper and iron do not react with cold water; iron reacts with steam. Zinc also reacts with steam. Reactivity with water increases down Group 1.
Explanation:
Azotobacter is a free-living aerobic bacterium that fixes atmospheric nitrogen in the soil, making it available to non-leguminous crops. Rhizobium is symbiotic and specific to legumes. Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas are involved in nitrification (converting ammonia to nitrites/nitrates), not nitrogen fixation.
