Q. Which of the following elements reacts with water?

TS EAMCET 2020

Solution:

For the most, group $14$ elements do not react with water. One interesting consequence of this is that tin $(S n)$ is often sprayed as a protective layer on irons cans to prevent the can from corroding. It is stable to water under ambient conditions but on heating with stream, tin reacts with water to form tin dioxide $SnO _{2}$ and hydrogen.
