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)

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.


What suubstance will react with water at room temperature and pressure to produce hydrogen?

Sodium reacts with water at room temperature (even at lower ) and produce hydrogen gas , 2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2


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)


Does Ca react with water at room temperature?

Calcium (Ca) does react with water at room temperature, although the reaction is not as vigorous as that of more reactive alkali metals. When calcium is added to water, it forms calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction can produce bubbles of hydrogen, which can ignite if the heat generated is sufficient. Overall, while the reaction occurs, it is relatively mild compared to other metals in the same group.


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.

Does vanadium react with water?

Vanadium does not react with water at room temperature or normal conditions. However, it can react with steam to form vanadium oxide and hydrogen gas.


Does silver react with water?

Silver does not react with water at room temperature. However, over time, silver may react with water and oxygen in the air to form a thin layer of tarnish.
