Usually acids are known to affect metals. this rule applies for acid + metal reactions. An acid + a metal reacts to give a metal salt + hydrogen Eg: Zinc + Hydrochloric acid reacts to give zinc chloride + Hydrogen

The above answer is correct, but should not be taken to mean that only acids affect metals. A concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide dissolves aluminum quite quickly.

Reacts with certain metals acid or base?

When certain metals come into contact with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction where hydrogen gas is produced. With bases, some metals may react to form hydrogen gas and a metal salt. The reactivity of the metal and the type of acid or base will determine the specific reaction that takes place.
