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).

What element react with steam and not with cold water?
Gold does not react with water or steam. i wouldn't totally agree with the above statment. There are 5 metals which don't not just 1...these are: .lead .copper .mercury .silver .gold
Why does zinc react with steam and not cold water?
Zinc does react with cold water - it just does so very slowly. Steam is water that is very hot and thus as with any chemical reaction, the heat gives the molecules more energy and so they react faster.
Which metals act violentely with water?
The Alkali metals (group 1) and the Alkali Earth metals (group 2) react violently with water. Lithium and magnesium show slow reactions in boiling water. Sodium and potassium reacts violently with flames with cool water. The elements in higher periods (strontium, barium etc.) react explosively.Elements in the 1st group react rapidly with cold water. The rate of reaction increases down the period. The elements in the 2nd group also reacts with hot water or steam.
What reaction do you receive when mix potassium magnesium manganese and water?
You get a mixture of potassium and magnesium. They're metals; they don't react with each other.
What is the Word equation for iron reacting with steam?
The word equation is that iron or Fe reacts with steam H2O to produce iron oxide and hydrogen gas. Many metals that react with steam will give the products of the specific metal oxide and hydrogen gas.

Which metals does not react with water?
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.
Some metals such as iron react with steam to produce hydrogen gas and what?
metal oxide
Why do metals like argon copper do not react even with steam?
Argon is not a metal so you cannot expect "metals like argon" to do anything!

Does barium react with steam?
Yes, It reacts very vigorously to form Ba(OH)2 + H2 Ba(s) + 2H2O(g) ----> Ba(OH)2 + H2
Does Lead react with steam?
lead does not react with water or steam
Does tin react with steam?
dose tin react with steam
Can alkali metals react with steam?
2Al (s) + 3H2O(g) ---------> Al2O3 (s) + 3H2(g)
Will nickel react with steam?
