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
Thorium can react with the majority of non metals; with metals thorium form alloys.
These are the properties of metals and non metals: Metals: Have a tendency to donate free electrons. Displace hydrogen gas from dilute acids React with oxygen to produce basic oxides React with hydrogen to produce Hydrides Metals are solids Non-metals: Have a tendency to receive electrons. Non metals maybe solids,liquids or gases Non metals are not malleable Non metals are not ductile
Metals usually have a characteristic lustre, so you can often tell just by looking. The metals conduct electricity when solid, and non-metals, with the exception of graphite, do not. Metals react with oxygen to give basic oxides, whereas non-metals give acidic oxides.
Ionic compounds are formed between metals and non-metals.
Yes it does in what is called an ionic reaction, where the silver gives of electrons to oxygen, the result beeing silver oxide (Ag2O). All metals react with non-metals in this way. NaCl is probebly the most famouse of these ionic reactions as the result is normal table salt, but it is in no sense unique. Also some metals will react more readely with the non-metals.

Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.
Nonmetals gain electrons.
they form a salt
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Oxidation of non-metals (and some metals) is a fire.
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Non-metals can react with metals to form ionic or covalent compounds. Mercury will react with most of the metals to form amalgams. Mixture of metals will lead to the formation of alloys.
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.
Neptunium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of non metals.
Uranium can react with the majority of non-metals (excepting noble gases); uraniun can form alloys with all metals.
