Hi
What happens when metal oxide reacts with water?

Metals react with water and produce a metal oxide and hydrogen gas. Metal oxides that are soluble in water dissolve in it to further form metal hydroxide. But all metals do not react with water.
Metal + Water → Metal oxide + Hydrogen gas Metal oxide + Water → Metal hydroxide
