Zn does not reacts with water ... Elementary zinc does not react with water molecules. The ion does form a protective, water insoluble zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2) layer with dissolved hydroxide ions, according to the following reaction mechanism:it only reacts with boiling water forming zinc hydroxide and hydrogen... Its fairly nonreactive.he ion does form a protective, water insoluble zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2) layer with dissolved hydroxide ions, according to the following reaction mechanism: it only reacts with boiling water forming zinc hydroxide and hydrogen...

Best Answer: Zinc is more reactive than iron, but that is only part of the reason that it is used in the galvanization process, The best galvanization process is called hot dip because the iron is cleaned and then dipped into a flux-molten zinc bath.sing a less reactive metal than Iron would allow iron to get in contact with air & moisture somehow which will lead to peeling up of the covering metal. Zinc is used because Zn corrodes faster than Iron protecting the Fe surface from corrosion.
