Which metals does not react with water?

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.

What happens when the alkali metals react with chlorine?

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.

Yes


Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?

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).


What elements react the best with the alkali metals?

Non metals form ionic bonds with metals. Non metals gain the electrons while metals loose. Alkali metals reacts with halogen family in efficient manner.
