That could fit several metals. Iron burns brightly if it is powdered, but doesn't react with water unless oxygen is present. Aluminium is not easy to ignite but can burn very brightly when it does go, and it certainly doesn't react with water at room temperature, and zinc is similar. I suspect the questioner may be wanting the answer magnesium, as that is the one we see burning extremely brightly in the lab. However it does react with water, though rather slowly if the water is cold and the magnesium is covered with its normal oxide layer.

Why metal cleaners must not contain acids?
There are many acids which may react with the metal... If they react,then the metal may lost its lustre,strength etc. In short, the reaction of the metal with the acid is not desirable..Hence the metal cleaner must not contain the acid.
Why doesnt super glue stick to the packet?
Because it has to react with oxygen in the atmosphere to harden.
When a metal atom combines with a non-metal atom how will the non-metal atom react?
metal and non metal usually combines to form complexes. as the valecy to be satisfied by both does not let them to form simple compounds with each other
What elements react with gadolinium?
Well there cant be a reaction with gadolinium because it is a metal and not a gas or liquid. But it does and something to do with electricity because it is eletropositive
Does beryllium phosphate dissolve in water?
No, alkaline metal phosphates are generally insoluble.
What is a metal that burns brightly with oxygen but does no react with water?
You think probable to magnesium.
Metal that burns bright in oxygen but does not react with water?
Magnesium.
What metal burns with bright flame but doesn't react with water?
Magneseum. an Alkali earth metal
What metal will react with oxygen but not water?
Metal reacting with oxygen is known as oxidation. A common form of this process is found in the rusting of iron, where the iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (known as rust).
A metal used for piping because it doesnt react with water is?
Examples: lead, stainless steel, sometimes copper.
What metal reacts quickly with water and acid?
Metals that react well with water: Sodium - fizzes Potassium - burns Caesium - explodes Metals that react well with acids: Magnesium
When metal burns it..........?
Typically when a metal 'burns', what is happening is that it is getting hot enough for it to react and form a bond with the oxygen in the atmosphere. This is almost identical to what happens when metal rusts, but on a much shorter time scales because of the higher energies involved. In other words, the metal is forming a chemical bond with the oxygen in the air.
Which metal burns in air but only react very slowly with water?
Copper burns and reacts in the air to form copper oxide, however i htink it reacts very slowly with water. Hope that helped ;)
Name the metal that doesnt react with water or hydrochloric acid?
For example, platinum metals: Pt, Ir, Pd, Os, Rh, Ru.
Why do metal react with non metal?
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Why do hydrocarbons burn away but metal combustion leaves ashes?
When a hydrocarbon burns, it reacts with oxygen to form carob dioxide and water vapor. As both of these are gasses, they wil drift away. When a metal react with oxygen, it forms a metal oxide, and metal oxides are solid.
What does the wax of a candle react with when it burns?
Oxygen.
