Now that I look back at my notes, it's Alkaline Earth Metals. I didn't think you'd be iron. When iron rusts it doesn't bubble, does it?
No, iron doesn't bubble. AVSM and I were simply conversing about what happens to Mg when water is added. Yes, it bubbles, amongst other things (bubbles are the least of your concerns if you add water to Mg).

I still think that the rest of you should state your roles.
