My recollection from my high school chemistry days is that sodium
doesn't catch fire in water, just bounces around and fizzes
vigorously. Potassium metal, OTOH, does catch fire as it fizzes and
bouces around even more vigorously.

I had such fun in the chemistry lab.

Its the liberated hydrogen from the water that burns; explodes if you
get the right concentration.
