All the elements with more than 4 electrons in the valence shell,which are usually gaining electrons and are reduced in the chemical reactions are named "non-metal".This does not include elements in transition metal

Does silver reacts with oxygen?

Yes it does in what is called an ionic reaction, where the silver gives of electrons to oxygen, the result beeing silver oxide (Ag2O). All metals react with non-metals in this way. NaCl is probebly the most famouse of these ionic reactions as the result is normal table salt, but it is in no sense unique. Also some metals will react more readely with the non-metals.

Do non metals react with water?

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.
