Sodium + water reacts to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

sodium + water --> sodium hyrdoxide + hydrogen gas (+ energy)
If you put too much sodium in (larger than around 1 cm^3) then the energy can ignite the hydrogen gas to make it explode.
The chemical equation is:
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) --> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

2Na + H2O= 2NaH + 1/2 O2
NaH + H2O=NaOH + H2

If it's a little sodium? Fizzle, pop, pop, fizzle.
If it's a lot of sodium? Pop, BOOOOM, [lots of little 'pop's']

Na + H2O = NaOH + H + Heat, so the H goes boom!

it's salty water, because sodium is salt

sodium's name is actually natrium.
water can also be said as aqua.
aqua+natrium=aquarium
