Oxygen on metals may have many different effects depending on the metal and what the oxygen is combined with. Oxygen combined with moisture on the metal of steel or iron will cause the metal to rust.

What do metals do when they combine with non metals like oxygen?

Metals tend to lose electrons when they combine with non-metals like oxygen, forming positive ions. These positive ions then combine with the negative ions of non-metals like oxygen to form compounds, such as metal oxides.


Pattern of reactions of metals with oxygen?

The pattern of reactions of metals with oxygen is based on their position in the reactivity series. Highly reactive metals like potassium, sodium, and calcium react vigorously with oxygen to form metal oxides. Less reactive metals like iron and copper react slowly with oxygen, forming metal oxides or hydroxides. Noble metals like gold and platinum do not react with oxygen at all under normal conditions.


Which two substances can be to compare the reactivity of metals other than acids?

Water and oxygen can be used to compare the reactivity of metals. More reactive metals will react with water to form metal hydroxides and hydrogen gas, and with oxygen to form metal oxides. Less reactive metals may not react with water or oxygen at all.


Why metals like Au or Pt do not react with oxygen directly?

Au or Pt are highly stable and they are noble metals as they do not react with oxygen readily
