Its Generally Known Dat Cu And Al Does Not React With Water Or Steam

Ukwuezejude8

I think it's a mistake saying calcium will react with water to give calcium because when calcium react with water the products is given to be calcium hydroxide do calcium is only slightly soluble in water to give calcium hydroxide. But do copper cannot react with water because it cannot like librate hydrogen from water or even steam.

Greetings, The Myschool Team.
The option A in the question(Calcium reacts with water to form calcium) is clearly incorrect. This has led to some of the candidates inadvertently picking the wrong answer. It appears the right option is "Calcium reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide" and not "Calcium reacts with water to form calcium". Thank you.

I think the answer should be option B, because Magnesium only reacts with steam.
