It forms a metal oxide. Metal oxides include "ceramics", rock, gemstones, even "superconductors" in some special cases.
idk idrc tbh
Metals react with air in a form called oxidizing. This is caused because the oxygen molecules are reacting with the surface of the metal.
Yes, extremely well, They are usually stored in a parafinic oil to prevent reaction with air
Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air
They are so reactive they even react with the moisture in the air. Storing under oil prevents this.
They metals are stored in oil to minimize the reactivity with air. When alkali metals react with air, they quickly tarnish after begin cut, they burn easily.
Oxygen
oxidation
group one and two metals react with oxygen in the air as well as moisture to from metal oxides
They react (oxidise) with the oxygen in the air.
react with the air, generally oxygen

Yes, both the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals with react with oxygen. The alkali metals will do so rapidly even at room temperature, cesium and rubidium self-ignite on contact to air.
Oxygen is the most reactive component of air. So for nearly all metals that burn in air only the oxide is formed. There is one exception magnesium burns in air to form the oxide and also traces of nitride.
