Most of them do NOT react with water. Only fluorine and to some extend chlorine do. Actually the only good 'water reacting' group of elements is group 1: the alkali metals.

∙ 14y agoYes.some non metals react with alkali like NaOH or KOH.e.g.yellow phosphorus and some organic compounds.

∙ 11y agoYes. There are many examples of non-metals reacting with non-metals [too many to list here]
Carbon [Non-Metal] + Hydrogen [Gaseous Non-Metal] -> Methane.

Why non -metals do not react with water?
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Does metals react with non metals?
As far as I know, non-metals like Carbon(C) and Sulphur(S) do not react with water. They are tightly binded, so they are insoluble too. Chilax
What happens to the atoms of non metals when non metals react with metals?
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
How do non metals react with water?
Most of them do NOT react with water. Only fluorine and to some extend chlorine do. Actually the only good 'water reacting' group of elements is group 1: the alkali metals.
What does not have the affinity for water?
There are some metals which do not react with water. Metals like Silver,Gold,Platinum,copper,Mercury and non metals like Hydrogen do not react with water.
What happens when nonmetals and metals react?
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
What two elements are likely to react together?
A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.
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.
When non metals react and metals react which atoms gain electrons?
Nonmetals gain electrons.
What happens when non metals react with metals?
they form a salt
How do alkali metals react to cold water?
alkali metals react violently in cold water
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).
