∙ 13y agoWater is not a metal.
It is H2O, chemically o-H-o (oxygen-hydrogen-oxygen).
Metals are generally shiny solids at room temperature - except for Mercury which has a very low melting point.
Metals when solid are malleable, contrasted with ice which is brittle.

Word equations for metal reactions?
metal + acid -> salt + water metal + oxygen -> metal oxide metal oxide + acid -> salt + water metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen Metal + Steam -> Metal Oxide + Hydrogen Metal + Acid -> Metal salt + Hydrogen
Word equation for soluble metal oxide plus water?
Metal oxide + Water --> Metal hydroxide
What is the reaction of metals with water?
metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen For example: Sodium + Water = Sodium Hydroxide + hydrogen
What effect does the initial temperature of the water have on change in temperature of the water after the hot metal is added?
When hot metal is added into the water then the metal looses its energy into the water and this heat is gained by the water, so the temperature gets increases when hot metal added into it i.e final temperature is greater than initial temperature of water.
If a cold piece of metal is placed in an equal mass of warm water will the final temperature be closer to the original temperature of the metal or the water?
Temperature of the water
Word equations for metal reactions?

Was metal sink in water?
yes metal sink in water
Word equation for soluble metal oxide plus water?
Metal oxide + Water --> Metal hydroxide
Which type of oxide is formed when metals combine with oxygen?
Metal oxides form alkalis when they dissolve in water. Non-metal oxides for acids. For example: carbon dioxide + water --> carbonic acid magnesium oxide + water --> magnesium hydroxide
What is the reaction of metals with water?
metal + water = metal hydroxide + hydrogen For example: Sodium + Water = Sodium Hydroxide + hydrogen
If you heat a metal in boiling water how do you know the metals heat?
If the metal's temperature has equilibriated with the water, than the temperature of the system (water and metal) will be the same.
Why does water make metal rusty?
metal has a tendency to oxidize and water oxidizes the metal . oxidation leads to rust formation
What will happen energetically to a cup of boiling hot water that is added to a cup containing a cold piece of metal?
choices are: The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to warm up and the metal to cool down. b. The energy from the hot water will flow into the cold metal, cooling the water down and heating up the metal. c. The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to cool down and the metal to warm up. d. The metal will cool down because the specific heat of water is high.
How do you create quicksilver on doodle god?
Combine metal and waterMetal + Water = Quicksilver
Data on making metal float?
You must displace as much water at the metal weighs. So there is equillibrium between the metal and the water.
What do metal oxides form?
Metal Salts + water
What is the only conductor that is not metal?
Water is a conductor that is not metal.
