Non-metals generally do not react with water, with some exceptions like sulfur and phosphorus. When they do react, they tend to form acidic solutions that can be corrosive. For example, sulfur reacts with water to form sulfurous acid.
By definition metals above hydrogen should react with acids to produce hydrogen and a metal salt when mixed, but carbonic acid is a weak acid and it won't react as much like sulfuric acid.
Compounds that taste sour and react with metals are likely acids. For example, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, and citric acid are all sour-tasting compounds that can react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas.
Lots of metals react with acids. It depends on exactly what acid, and the concentration of that acid. A mixture of concentrated nitric acid and hydrochloric acid (aqua regia, royal water) will react with gold and other precious metals. The alkali metals will react readily with acid, as will most metals. You have to know that any metal with incomplete orbital has the ability to react with any proton donating species. (proton donating species are acids according to Bronston-Lowry theory)

A metal that does not react to acid, oxygen or water does not exist.
metals which dont react with water or acid are called unreactive metals

zinc is famous for reacting with hydrochloric acid but so will magnesium, aluminum, iron and all the alkali, alkaline earths and also group III metals.
Many transition metals will react with acids to form a salt and hydrogen gas. For example, zinc will react with hydrochloric acid to form the black-colored solid zinc chloride and hydrogen. The formula is: Zn+2HCl-->ZnCl2+H2. The group 1 and 2 metals will often react with water, sometimes explosively. Sodium reacts with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen. The formula is: 2Na+2H2O-->2NaOH+H2. The reactivity series of metals (see wikipedia -Reactivity series) shows a list of the metals that react.
Metals such as sodium, potassium, and lithium can react violently with acids. These reactions can produce heat, hydrogen gas, and cause the acid to splash. Special precautions should be taken when working with these reactive metals to prevent accidents.
Metals that react well with water: Sodium - fizzes Potassium - burns Caesium - explodes Metals that react well with acids: Magnesium
No. First of all, the metal does not dissapear. When a a metal reacts with an acid it forms a corresponding salt, which usually then dissolves. Second, whther or not a reaction occurs depends on both the acid and the metal. Most metals will not react with a dilute weak acid. Some metals will not even react with most strong metals. Gold, platinum, and some platinum group metals will not react with acid except for aqua regia, a special mixture of hydrochloric and nitric acid. Ruthenium will not react with acid at all.
Group 1 elements, also known as alkali metals, react vigorously with water and air. This group includes elements such as lithium, sodium, and potassium. When exposed to water or air, alkali metals can form hydroxides or oxides, respectively.
Nitric acid reacts strongly with many metals.
No, not all metals react with hydrochloric acid. Generally, metals that are more reactive than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with hydrochloric acid to form metal chloride and hydrogen gas. Metals which are less reactive than hydrogen, such as copper, silver, and gold, do not react with hydrochloric acid.
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.
