It depends on what they are reacting with.
yes you are true. we call them alkali metals.
alkaline earth metals
Lead is a metal. Metals react with acids to form salts. Metals can be used to make alkalies, but not acids.
indeed it does my friend

When acids react with metals they can produce hydrogen.

It is in group I. Also called the alkali metal, they dissolve in water to make the water alkali (pH >7). Also, the elements in the group are also easily cut by a knife and its surface oxidizes so quickly you would almost always see only it as dull gray rather than shiny silver which it is. They react very vigorously, some of them even exploding upon contact with even cold water.

Yes, many metals can react with acids.
The alkali metals in column 1 of most wide-form periodic tables.

The elements in Group 1 of the periodic table are called the alkali metals. The elements that make up this group are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, cesium, and Francium. Hydrogen is not in this group even though it may look like it. The alkali metals are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell making them ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. Some other cool facts are: --Like other metals, alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity --The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. --Alkali metals can explode if they are exposed to water.
Californium can react with the majority of non metals.
