उत्तर

Exothermic, but the heat evolved is not sufficient for the hydrogen to catch fire.

Explanation:

Calcium reacts with cold water to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. While the reaction is exothermic and releases heat, the amount produced is significantly less than that of alkali metals like sodium or potassium, making it insufficient to ignite the liberated hydrogen.
