If you're referring to the Periodic Table, the group one and two elements (Alkali and Alkaline earth metals) react with water very vigorously, often explosively in the Alkali metals. The transition metals react VERY slowly, as water can be considered an oxidising agent, to form the respective oxides. This can be seen in Iron(III) oxide, as the red rust is formed when iron metal is left in contact with moisture.
