Most of them do NOT react with water. Only fluorine and to some extend chlorine do. Actually the only good 'water reacting' group of elements is group 1: the alkali metals.
Sulfur doesn't react with water.
Atoms of non-metals usually gain or share electrons when they react with other atoms.
Some metals do react with water. For example, alkali metals like sodium and potassium react vigorously with water to produce hydrogen gas and metal hydroxide. Other metals like iron and aluminum may react slowly with water over time. However, some metals, such as gold and platinum, do 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.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.

neutral Depends on the nonmetal. Fluorine reacts differentpy from boron.
Examples: many plastic materials, platinum metals, gold, lead, glass, etc.

A metal and a non metal. Two non metals. A metal and a metalloid.

alkali metals react violently in cold water
