When metals react with oxygen they produce metal oxides. A common example would be that of Iron which in the presence of oxygen and water form rust (a mixture of metal oxides and metal hydroxides)
They have formed an oxide. An oxide is a compound of a metal and oxygen.
Metals placed high in the reactivity series will reduce the oxides of those lower in the series.
[metal] oxide is the result. Iron oxide is called rust. Zinc oxide is called . . . zinc oxide which is a skin and wound soothing ointment.
It forms a compound. For example Iron + Oxygen ---> Iron Oxide aka rust.
Metal oxides
Metals and oxygen.
Metal oxides form alkalis when they dissolve in water. Non-metal oxides for acids. For example: carbon dioxide + water --> carbonic acid magnesium oxide + water --> magnesium hydroxide

oxides are formed when a element reacts with Oxygen
metal oxide
group one and two metals react with oxygen in the air as well as moisture to from metal oxides
No, metal oxides are basic in nature.
Metal oxide is the ionic bond combination of any metal element of the periodic table of elements with oxygen. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals are respectively the first and second columns of elements found on the periodic table. Thus, alkali metal oxides and earth metal oxides are types of metal oxides, but metal oxide does not imply alkali.
Any metal that reacts with oxygen will produce a metal oxide. For example, magnesium reacts with oxygen to produce magnesium oxide, and zinc reacts with oxygen to produce zinc oxide. It is helpful to know the general word equation: metal + oxygen -> metal oxide
Metal oxides which are bases
They have formed an oxide. An oxide is a compound of a metal and oxygen.
