Metal reacting with oxygen is known as oxidation. A common form of this process is found in the rusting of iron, where the iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (known as rust).

Do react with oxygen?
Yes, oxygen is in water. Water and metal create rust.
Alkaline-earth metal do not react with oxygen?
Yes, they do. Actually, they react violently when heated and in the presence of oxygen.
Do hydrogen and oxygen react with water?
No. Hydrogen and oxygen react with each other to form water.
What is the Equation for water plus oxygen?
Water and oxygen will not react.
Will iron react with oxygen to produce rust?
Iron will react with water and oxygen to produce rust. Essentially water has oxygen atoms in it so as long as iron is in contact with water, it will rust.
What metal reacts with oxygen but does not react with water?
For example uranium react with oxygen but not with water.
What metals dont react with acid oxygen or water?
A metal that does not react to acid, oxygen or water does not exist.
Do react with oxygen?
Yes, oxygen is in water. Water and metal create rust.
Metal that burns bright in oxygen but does not react with water?
Magnesium.
Does protactinium react with water?
Protactinium is a reactive metal; protactinium react with water vapours, acids, oxygen, halogens,etc.
Which metals don't react with water but react with oxygen?
Beryllium is the only alkaline metal that reacts to oxygen but not to water. The hydrogen in water stabilizes the reaction.
Is reacting a metal with water the same a reacting it with oxygen?
Not all metals react with water, but some, such as metallic sodium, do react quite vigorously with water. In a sense it is true that when metals react with water it is the same as reacting with oxygen, because the water molecule (H2O) does contain oxygen, and it is the oxygen in the water molecule with which metals react. Metals do not react with the hydrogen content of the water molecule, so when metal reacts with water, hydrogen gas is produced as a byproduct. It just bubbles out of the water.
What is a metal that burns brightly with oxygen but does no react with water?
You think probable to magnesium.
Why do metals react with oxygen?
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)
Why gold is said to be a noble metal?
Gold is said to be noble metal because it is unreactive and does not react with either oxygen or water.
Which alkali metal can react with oxygen to form peroxide or superoxide?
The metal of copper can react with oxygen. This is a metal that is very reactive when ti is combined with different substances.
Do every non metal react with oxygen?
no
