Water-reactive, solid, oxidizing, n.o.s
Water-reactive substances are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. Some are highly reducing in nature. Notable examples include alkali metals, lithium through caesium, and alkaline earth metals, magnesium through barium. Some water-reactive substances are also pyrophoric, like organometallics and sulfuric acid Wikipedia
