Reactivity of metals?

How can you tell how reactive a metal is

The more easily a metal loses its electrons and forms positive ions, the more reactive the metal is

What are the highly reactive metals in the reactivity series, & how do they react with water and acid?

Potassium, Sodium, Lithium: react vigorously with water and acid, producing hydrogen gas

Which metals also react with water and acid, and describe the reaction?

Magnesium and Calcium react less vigorously with water and acid than the metals higher up in the series

What metal in the series does not react with either water or acid?

Copper

How does zinc and Iron react with water and acid

Does not react with liquid water but reacts with water in the form of steam, and reacts very slowly with acid in comparison to metals above
