Iron does not react with water because the hydrogen and Oxygen are already combined. Also Hydrogen is an Akaline metal which means no other metal could take its place.

Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?

All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).


Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?

Yes


Do acids react vigorously with many metals?

They do react vigorously.


What metals react most vigorously in order?

Potassium, sodium, and lithium are the three most reactive metals in order. They react vigorously with water to produce hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions.


Was does iron react with?

Iron can react with water in the presence of air and form rust.


Do alkali metals react vigorously with water oxygen and noble gasses?

Alkali metals react vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and forming alkaline solutions. They react with oxygen to form oxides, and with noble gases they can form compounds under certain conditions, although the reactivity is not as intense as with water or oxygen.


Does iron react in cold water?

Iron will slowly rust in cold water.


What similarities iron have a similar reaction with water as potassium?

Potassium react violent with water, iron react only if oxygen is present.


Why is sodium reacts with water but iron doesn't?

Sodium is a highly reactive metal that easily loses an electron to form Na+ ions, which react vigorously with water to produce hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. Iron is less reactive and forms a protective oxide layer on its surface, preventing immediate reaction with water.


Does Mg react with water?

Magnesium (Mg) does react with water, although not as vigorously as certain other metals like sodium. The reaction tends to be slow and is influenced by the presence of certain impurities or the temperature of the water. Magnesium reacts with water to produce magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.


How do group II elements differ in vigor as they react with water?

Group II elements become more vigorous as you move down the group when they react with water. For example, beryllium reacts slowly with water, while magnesium reacts more vigorously. Calcium, strontium, and barium react even more vigorously, with barium being the most vigorous among the Group II elements in water.


Will iron react with oxygen to produce rust?

Yes, iron will react with oxygen to produce iron oxide, commonly known as rust. This process occurs in the presence of water or moisture, which accelerates rust formation on iron surfaces.
