Does oxygen naturally form compounds?
yes. If the metal is reactive enough then oxygen naturally forms compounds.(oxides)
Does quick lime occur naturally in nature?
Lime naturally occurs in the earth's crust, mostly containing carbonates and oxides. Quicklime is usually processed, and is rather caustic in nature.
How does the acid-base nature of the oxides in the period 3 change with the increasing atomic number?
basic metal oxides change to acidic non-metal oxides
What is metal oxide?
Metallic oxides are metal and oxygen, bonded together. They are generally solids, and have higher densities. An example of a metallic oxides is sodium, Na.
Can gold occur naturally?
It DOES occur naturally. It is an ore. It is not man made.
Does oxygen naturally form compounds?
yes. If the metal is reactive enough then oxygen naturally forms compounds.(oxides)
Are metal ores synthetic?
No, metal ores occur naturally in the Earth.
What are metal oxides with examples?
Metal oxides are oxides of metal. They are ionic in nature and form basic oxides. Eg: Na2O, MgO,etc
Is metal oxide is a base?
Yes, certain metal oxides, mostly from the middle groups of the transition metals are acidic. Chromium and rhenium, for example, both form oxides which are acidic in water.
Are metal's oxides gases or bases?
Metal oxides are typically basic.
What is the heaviest naturally occurring metal on Earth magnesium or radium or plutonium?
Radium: Plutonium does not occur naturally, and magnesium has a low density for a metal.
Does quick lime occur naturally in nature?
Lime naturally occurs in the earth's crust, mostly containing carbonates and oxides. Quicklime is usually processed, and is rather caustic in nature.
Are metal oxides neutral?
Many metal oxides are alkaline and form hydroxides in the presence of water.
Are all oxides acidic?
No. A number of metal oxides are basic.
Are metals oxides acidic?
No, metal oxides are basic in nature.
Why is oxide mineral group important?
Oxygen is by far the most abundant element in the Earth's crust, so naturally there are going to be a lot of metal oxides.
How does the acid-base nature of the oxides in the period 3 change with the increasing atomic number?
basic metal oxides change to acidic non-metal oxides
