With the exception of boron which is unreactive , yes and each member of the group behaves differently. Silicon reacts to hot base and is almost unreactive to acid. Germanium and arsenic reacts to hot concentrated sulfuric and nitric but not to sodium hydroxide. Antimony reacts to nitric and sulfuric acid but not to base. Tellurium reacts to acids and bases.

What are metals that react with both acids and bases?
Aluminum and zinc are metals that react with both acids and bases. In acids, they undergo a displacement reaction to form a salt and hydrogen gas. In bases, they react to form a salt and hydrogen gas as well.
Who reacts with metal bases or acids?
Metal oxides are basic in nature and react with acids to form salts and water. Non-metal oxides are acidic in nature and react with bases to form salts and water. Metals generally react with acids to form salts and hydrogen gas.
What can react with Acids?
Bases can react with acids to form salts and water. Metals can also react with acids to produce hydrogen gas and a salt. Additionally, carbonates and bicarbonates can react with acids to form carbon dioxide gas, water, and a salt.
Is acid or base corrosive to certain materials?
Both acids and bases can be corrosive to certain materials. Acids can corrode metals and organic materials, while bases can corrode certain metals and can also be damaging to skin and organic materials. It is important to handle both acids and bases with caution and follow proper safety protocols.
What Can corrode metals and fade fabric?
It depends on the types of metals or fabric, but in common, any acids or bases/alkalies can corrode metals by chemical reactions. The common acids we usually deal with include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid (lab acids), vinegar (weak acid used in kitchen) and hydrofluoric acid (weak but the only one that can corrode glass), and most of them can fade fabric as well. The strength of acids is judged over the pH scale from 0 to 6 (7 is neutral water and above, from 8 to 14 are bases). The lower the pH, the stronger the acids, and 0 acids are extremely powerful (those are called super acids). The bases/alkalies can do the same thing when they are at the pH of 9 to 14. The common bases we can find around include baking soda (weak base) and the hydroxides (such as potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)). The strong bases are used in soaps, but they are very corrosive and can fade, even melt down fabric or metals at the higher pH. Alkalies are called the "subset" of bases, where they include two characters: they are soluble and release hydroxide ions, and must be a product of any acid to an alkaline metals (such as lithium, sodium, potassium...) Because acids and bases/alkalies are opposite in pH level, so they trend to neutralize each other: their products are usually water and a salts (the most seen is table salts NaCl) Talking about their corrosion on metals and fading fabric, acids and bases can react with most weak metals such as alkaline (earth) metals listed above. Some stronger metals such as silver, gold, platinum... can resist the corrosion caused by relatively strong acids, but get attacked by bases and halogens like fluorine. Also, the mixture of acids (like "royal water"), strong acids (super acids), heated acids (to increase reactivity) and the appearances of halogens in acids mixtures can cause corrosion on these metals as well. So in general, any acids and bases can cause corrosion on metals and fade fabric if they are strong enough.

What do acids react with what?
Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.
Do acids react with certain chemicals to produce chemical change?
Yes, most notably acids will react with bases and some metals.

What can bases react with?
Bases can react with acids to form salts and water. They can also react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. Additionally, some bases can react with fats and oils in a process known as saponification.
Does metal react with bases to produce salts?
Yes, metals can react with bases to form salts through a process called neutralization. The metal hydroxide and the base react to form a salt and water. The salt formed will depend on the specific metal and base involved in the reaction.
