Metals reactivity with water

Metal Symbol Electro-negativity Occurrence Reactivity with water... 

Metals — Several metals react with water and air with the extent of reactivity being dependent upon the physical state of the metal. The highly reactive metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium are pyrophoric (i.e., they ignite spontaneously in air without an ignition source). In contrast, the less reactive metals such as magnesium, zirconium, titanium, aluminum, and zinc are highly pyrophoric only as dusts. 

Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water No reaction Reactivity with Common Materials Corrosive, particularly when diluted. Attacks most common metals, including most stainless steels. Excellent solvent for many synthetic resins or rubber Stability During Transport Stable Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics Dilute with water, rinse with sodium bicarbonate solution Polymerization Not pertinent Inhibitor of Polymerization Not pertinent. 

Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water Dissolves and forms dilute solution of hydrofluoric acid Reactivity with Common Materials May corrode glass, cement and most metals Stability During... 

Chemical Reactivity - Reactivity with Water Slow reaction with water to produce hydrochloric acid fumes. The reaction is more rapid with steam Reactivity with Common Materials Slow corrosion of metals but no immediate danger Stability During Transport Not pertinent Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics Soda ash and water, lime Polymerization Does not occur Inhibitor of Polymerization Not pertinent.
