Which of the following statement is/are true? I. Some metals react with water to produce metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas II. Generally, nonmetals do not react with water  Correct Answer Both I and II

The correct answer is Both I and II.

Key Points

  • Metals react with water and produce metal oxide and hydrogen gas.
  • Metal oxides that are soluble in water dissolve in them to further form metal hydroxide.
    • Metal + Water → Metal oxide + Hydrogen
    • Metal oxide + Water → Metal hydroxide
  • But all metals do not react with water.
  • Metals such as lead, copper, silver, and gold do not react with water at all.
  • Non-metals are electronegative are unable to break the bond between H and O in water. The non-metals cannot reduce hydrogen by donating electrons. Thus nonmetals do not react with water.
