All of them except Gold.
many form a metal oxide layer that protects them from further oxidization.

What is produced when you react a metal with oxygen?
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
How does metal oxide react with acid?
A reaction between an acid and a metal oxide to form a salt and water as the only products.
Pattern of reactions of metals with oxygen?
The oxygen oxidizes the metal, and they form a metal oxide.
Does solid lithium metal react with oxygen gas to form solid lithium oxide?
Yes, it will react to form an external layer of lithium oxide (Li2O).
What happen when base react with non metal oxide-?
The Metal hydroxides are strong base, therefore metal hydroxide decomposes on heating to form metal oxide and water.
What happens when metals react with pure gas?
If the gas is oxygen, the oxide of the metal is most likely to form.
Why do metals have to be sandpapered?
The reason why metal have to be clean with sandpaper is to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the metal. This is because most metal have a high tendency toward oxygen. The metal will react with oxygen in the air and form an oxide layer on the surface of the metal.
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)
What is produced when you react a metal with oxygen?

What reacts with metal?
Non-metals can react with metals to form ionic or covalent compounds. Mercury will react with most of the metals to form amalgams. Mixture of metals will lead to the formation of alloys.
How does metal oxide react with acid?
A reaction between an acid and a metal oxide to form a salt and water as the only products.

Does solid lithium metal react with oxygen gas to form solid lithium oxide?
Yes, it will react to form an external layer of lithium oxide (Li2O).
Why do some metals rust completely apart while others like copper only form a thin oxide coating?
it depends on the reactivity of the metal, ie metals that are more reactive will more readily react with oxygent to form oxides also, in some cases, the layer of oxide coating the metal can stop the rest of the metal reacting - it acts as a sort of barrier
What is the link between the Reactivity Series and how the metal reacts with oxygen?
Metals higher up the reactivity series (more reactive) will react more readily with oxygen to form the respective metal oxide
When alkali metals react with oxygen and form compounds that dissolve in water they produce solutions that are what on the pH scale?
alkali metal + oxygen --> metal oxide metal oxide + water--> metal hydroxide metal hydroxides are strong alkalis, corrosive pH=14
Which metal is most reactive with oxygen?
The alkali metals, group 1 of the periodic table, react more and more with O2 as you descend the group. From Na down to Cs, the metals are stored in oil so that they don't form an oxide layer. If you watch videos on Youtube about these metals, you'll see the oxide layer actually form before your eyes.
