\u25cf Alkali metals (Li, Na, K, etc) react vigorously with water and oxygen or air.
\u25cf Mg reacts with hot water.
\u25cf Al, Fe and Zn react with steam.
\u25cf Cu, Ag, Pt, Au do not react with water or dilute acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Metal oxide is formed when metals are burned in air and react with oxygen in the air. Metal oxides are a type of basic material found in nature. They change the colour of red litmus to blue. To avoid reactions with oxygen, moisture, and carbon dioxide in the air, sodium and potassium metals are kept in kerosene oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
