Aluminum, copper, and iron.
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.
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Overall, transition metals have low reactivity with water. The alkali metals, however, react vigorously with water.
Very reactive metals - from group 1 and 2 of the periodic table - can react with water.

alkali metals react violently in cold water
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).

Not all metals react with water, but some, such as metallic sodium, do react quite vigorously with water. In a sense it is true that when metals react with water it is the same as reacting with oxygen, because the water molecule (H2O) does contain oxygen, and it is the oxygen in the water molecule with which metals react. Metals do not react with the hydrogen content of the water molecule, so when metal reacts with water, hydrogen gas is produced as a byproduct. It just bubbles out of the water.
For example uranium, mercury, vanadium don't react with water but can react with acids.
metals which dont react with water or acid are called unreactive metals
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.
They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
