Oxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are basic and react with water to form metal hydroxides. Some of these reactions, such as those of barium oxide and cesium oxide, are strongly exothermic at room temperature (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. Vol. 2, pp. 93, 1390).
