2Al (s) + 3H2O(g) ---------> Al2O3 (s) + 3H2(g)
Aluminum is a metal that reacts when exposed to steam. When exposed, aluminum oxide will form as well as hydrogen.
zinc does react with steam but it is a very slow reaction.
Some metals react with steam but not water because of their lower reactivity. They need to be heated and will give hydrogen gas and metal oxides.
The solubility of aluminum in hot water is extremely low.
K,Na,Li,Ca,Mg,Al,Zn,Fe
Yes, red hot iron does.
Yes.
Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
Yes
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
They don't
alkali metals react violently in cold water

Alkali earth metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides.
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Many metals including alkali metals, alkali earth metals, chromium, nickel and zinc react with dilute hydrochloric acid.
Group 1 elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali (or bases).
All alkali metals (group 1) and most earth-alkali metals (group 2)
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
Yes
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
