The most common set of metals that react with water at room temperature are the alkali metals, namely lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. while these metals react quite violently with water at room temperature, many if not most other metals have some sort of reaction with water at room temperature (IE, iron rusting in water)

∙ 11y agotechnically speaking, sodium, lithium, potassium , rubidium and caesium react with water at ordinary temperature.
the balanced reaction equation of these elements is generally the same:
2(Element) + 2H2O-->2(Element)OH+H2(g)
Hydrogen gas is evolved in these reactions.

Most metals are what at room temperature?
SOLID.
What does state at room temperature mean?
It means whether the substance in question is solid, liquid or gas at normal room temperature, so you could assume that about 20 degrees celsius. Oxygen is a gas at room temperature Water is a liquid at room temperature Iron is a solid at room temperature.
What metal burns brightly but doesn't react with water?
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 won't aluminum and potassium react when mixed together?
Aluminum and potassium are both metals. Metals for alloys but do not react with one another. In somewhat more detail, metals tend to react by giving up their electrons to nonmetals. Since both aluminum and potassium will tend to give up electrons rather than gain them, they do not react.
What is the state of semi metals at room temperature?
At room temperature all metalloids are solid.
Which metals does not react with water?
Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
What happens when metal reacts with metal?
Alkali metals reacts violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen; alkali earth metals react with water but no so violent.Other metals doesn't generally react with water at room temperature.
Alkaline earth metals do not react with oxygen?
No, they generally do, even at room temperature.
Which of the following statements is correct about alkali earth metals a. Liquid at room temperature c. React with water b. Do not react with water d. Are in a gaseous state at room temperature?
It is true that alkali earth elements (those in group 2) react with water. When reacting with water, they form the metallic hydroxide and hydrogen gas. An example might be Mg + 2H2O -->Mg(OH)2 + H2(g)
Do alkaline metals react with oxygen?
Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.
Why do acid reacts with metals under variying conditions?
Because the electronegativity of metals is very different; the ability of metals to react with acids is also variable. But all metals can react with acids or mixture of acids at room temperature or at high temperature or pressures. An indestructible material don't exist.
How will fish react with room temperature water?
They won't react at all, because fish need to be placed in room temperture water every time you change their water.
At room temperature none of the metals are?
None of the metals are gasses at room temperature.
Why beryllium can be easily hydrolysed?
Beryllium doesn't react with water at room temperature.
What is the reaction of graphite and water?
Nothing, It will sink but it won't react with water at room temperature. You have to heat graphite to something like 800 degrees Celsius to react with water at that temperature it will react with steam to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas.
What metals are strong in room temperature?
Metals like steel are strong in room temperature. If you want anymore, search for metals as strong as steel :)
What alkali metal's melting point is at room temperature?
Unstable in air or water, they oxidize rapidly and sometimes violently.
