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.

Why non -metals do not react with water?
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Are transition metals soluble in water?
Overall, transition metals have low reactivity with water. The alkali metals, however, react vigorously with water.
When metals react with water for class 8?
Very reactive metals - from group 1 and 2 of the periodic table - can react with water.
What does not have the affinity for water?
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.
Why is group 1 metals called alkali metals?
They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
How do alkali metals react to cold water?
alkali metals react violently in cold water
Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?
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).
Why non -metals do not react with water?
Sulfur doesn't react with water.

When metals react with water for class 8?
Very reactive metals - from group 1 and 2 of the periodic table - can react with water.
Is reacting a metal with water the same a reacting it with oxygen?
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.
What metals react with acids not water?
For example uranium, mercury, vanadium don't react with water but can react with acids.
What are unreactive metals?
metals which dont react with water or acid are called unreactive metals
What does not have the affinity for water?
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.
Why is group 1 metals called alkali metals?
They're metals that form alkaline compounds when they react with water.
What metals would calcium nitrate react with?
Calcium nitrate don't react with metals; a possible reaction is with the water from the solution.
What metals dont react with acid oxygen or water?
A metal that does not react to acid, oxygen or water does not exist.
