What is the outcome of metal plus water?

There are many different kinds of metal. There are highly reactive metals such as sodium, which if placed in water will react immediately, forming a sodium hydroxide solution and releasing hydrogen gas. There are moderately reactive metals such as iron, which if placed in water will slowly start to rust. And there are non-reactive (or inert) metals such as gold, which if placed in water don't do anything. Metal + Water (H2O) produces → Metal Hydroxide (OH-) and Hydrogen gas (H2).
