oxides
ReactivityThe ease and speed with which an element combines with other elements and compounds is called the "reactivity" of the element.

Compounds between metals and oxygen are called oxides.
Compounds that form when an element such as aluminum or iron combines chemically with oxygen are called oxides. Oxide minerals are used to make products such as abrasives, toothpaste, cement, and paint.

Oxygen is an element. It exists without need of having a function. Oxygen does do many different things. It provides energy to the cellular system. It combines with hydrogen to form water. It combines with carbon to form carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. It combines with itself to form a 3-oxygen molecule called ozone that helps make smog when in the lower atmosphere and helps shield the surface from ultraviolet radiation when in the upper atmosphere. It combines with many other elements to form a wide variety of compounds that have very different properties.
Compounds are one or more elements combined to make a compound. Like H2o is oxygen and hydrogen combined.
It is an oxidation-reduction reaction called rusting.
Many lipids are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with compounds called fatty acids.
