Platinum metals (ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, osmium, palladium and platinum) and gold are very nonreactive metals; they don't react with water but a metal absolutely insensible to oxygen or acids in any conditions doesn't exist.

How do metals of medium reactivity react well with?

Metals of medium reactivity can react well with acids, water, and oxygen. They tend to corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, react with acids to produce hydrogen gas, and can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in aqueous solutions.


What metals react with acids not water?

Metals such as zinc, aluminum, and iron can react with acids but not with water. When these metals react with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen gas and a salt. In contrast, these metals do not react with water to produce hydrogen gas.


Which two substances can be to compare the reactivity of metals other than acids?

Water and oxygen can be used to compare the reactivity of metals. More reactive metals will react with water to form metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas, and with oxygen to form metal oxides. Less reactive metals may not react with water or oxygen at all.


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.


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 metals dont react with acid oxygen or water?

A metal that does not react to acid, oxygen or water does not exist.


Is reacting a metal with water the same a reacting it with oxygen?

Not all metals react with water, but some, such as metallic sodium, do react quite vigorously with water. In a sense it is true that when metals react with water it is the same as reacting with oxygen, because the water molecule (H2O) does contain oxygen, and it is the oxygen in the water molecule with which metals react. Metals do not react with the hydrogen content of the water molecule, so when metal reacts with water, hydrogen gas is produced as a byproduct. It just bubbles out of the water.


Do acids react with metals to form water?

NOPE! Hope you get through the horrible experience which is quest!


Which metals don't react with water but react with oxygen?

Beryllium is the only alkaline metal that reacts to oxygen but not to water. The hydrogen in water stabilizes the reaction.


Is Cadmium a reactive element?

Cadmium does react with oxygen, acids, and the halogens. The acids it reacts with is sulfuric acid. Cadmium does react with water.


What does silver not react with?

Silver does not react with oxygen or water, making it resistant to tarnishing. It also does not react with most acids, except for nitric acid. Additionally, silver is relatively unreactive with other metals such as gold and platinum.


What reacts quickly with water and acids?

Reactive metals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium react quickly with water to produce hydrogen gas. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid also react quickly with metals to produce metal salts and hydrogen gas.
