When metals react with nitric acid hydrogen gas is liberated. Nitric acid is a very strong oxidizing agent. So , it oxidizes the hydrogen gas formed during the reaction to form water and an oxide of nitrogen ( NO,N2O,NO2 etc. ).
Hope it will helps ✌

Answer:
All metals do not react with nitric acid to form hydrogen gas (Since, Metal + Acid ---- Salt + Hydrogen ). Because nitric acid is an highly oxidising agent and oxidises hydrogen to form water and itself gets reduces to nitrogen oxide.
But magnesium and magnese are only two metals that can react with nitric acid to liberate hydrogen gas.
