Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Oxidation of non-metals (and some metals) is a fire.
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Neptunium is a reactive metal and can react with the majority of non metals.

A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.
Nonmetals gain electrons.
they form a salt

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.
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
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.
