Hazard Predictions

Sodium may react explosively with powdered carbon or sulfur (Dickinson, F. 1961. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Volume 2, Supplement 2. pp. 466-467, 454-455. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Sodium forms shock-sensitive compounds with carbon monoxide (Weiss, E. 1993. Agnew. Chem. (International Ed.) 32(11):1518).

Reaction between lithium and sulfur is very violent if either is in the liquid phase (Dickinson, F. 1961. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Volume 2, Supp. 2, p 75. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Potassium reacts exothermically with carbon (Dickinson, F. 1963. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Volume 2, Supplement 3, pp. 1566. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
