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
.silver
.gold
Metals like Zinc and Iron do not react with cold water but react with steam.
the metals which are bellow hydrogen in the metal activity series cannot react with cold water or steam
Magnesium react better with steam.
Magnesium
idk
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).
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.
Zinc reacts with steam to form Zinc oxide(yellow when hot and white when cold) and hydrogen. Zn+H2O=ZnO +H2
You get a mixture of potassium and magnesium. They're metals; they don't react with each other.
Water is formed as a liquid when steam meets a cold surface.

Iron and Zinc
Aluminum will not react with water at normal temperatures. Increase the temperature greatly, and just about any two things will react, though.
Zinc is unreactive to cold water, but will react with steam to give zinc oxide and hydrogen.

alkali metals react violently in cold water
You get a mixture of potassium and magnesium. They're metals; they don't react with each other.
Alkali metals, for example: 2Me + 2H2O = 2MeOH + H2 Me is the metal
Water
You have to fill the can with steam and then seal it closed. when you then put the can in cold water the steam will condense into water and the can will be crushed by atmospheric pressure.
