Solution:

Beryllium (Be) does not react with cold or hot water due to its small size and high ionization enthalpy.

Magnesium (Mg) reacts with hot water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Calcium (Ca), Strontium (Sr), and Barium (Ba) react readily with cold water to form their respective hydroxides and evolve hydrogen gas.
