Answer:

Magnesium reacts slowly in water but reacts vigorously with steam. The reason why Magnesium doesn't really react with cold water is that it becomes coated with Magnesium hydroxide which is insoluble, so it prevents water coming into contact with Magnesium.

Magnesium reacts with hot water much faster to produce magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.


Aviminecraft: Nice answer
JaiShreeRadhaKrishna: Thanks bro, Magnesium is the only metal which reacts with both hot water and steam.
