Metals placed high in the reactivity series will reduce the oxides of those lower in the series.
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)
By forming their oxides, the alkali metals tarnish very quickly with respect to many other metals.
Yes, some metals burn to produce oxides, particularly aluminum, magnesium, and titanium. Some of these metals are use in fireworks and even solid rocket fuels. The most stunning is magnesium, which produces an intense white flame that is almost too bright to look at.
most of the metals (either in the form of native metals or as their compounds) are known to act as catalysts for one reaction or the other.
Mercury forms amalgams with other metals.
For example reduction with hydrogen and carbon from oxides, reduction with other metals from chlorides, etc.

If the nitrates are of alkali metals, they decompose into Nitrites and Oxygen:NO3- --Δ--> NO2-+ O2If the nitrates are of other metals, they decompose into Metal oxides, Nitrogen dioxide and Oxygen:NO3- --Δ--> O2- + NO2 + O2

False. Corrosion is a chemical property. When a metal corrodes, it reacts with its environment to produce oxides, hydroxides, and other types of corrosion.
The oxide ion tends to react with water to form hydroxide ions. generically O2- + H2O --> 2OH- as an example CaO + H2O ---> Ca(OH)2 Some other metal oxides (like ZnO and Al2O3) are basic BUT also acidic oxides: ZnO + H2O + 2 OH- --> Zn(OH)42- in which reaction hydroxide is needed and NOT formed! This behaviour is usually termed amphoteric.
Magnets attract ferromagnetic metals, alloys, oxides or other compounds; examples are: iron, cobalt, nickel, dysprosium, iron oxides, some compounds of lanthanides etc.
Water with oxygen (air). However, only one metal 'rusts' . It is IRON and forms iron oxide (rust). Other metals do NOT rust. They form 'oxides.

How well it can replace other metals in a reaction. For example iron is more active than copper, because CuSO4 + Fe --> FeSO4 + Cu reaction occurs. And Cu + FeSO4 --> no reaction
Ductile metals are metals that5 can be shaped and pulled. Gold is a example of a ductile metal so in other words, yes it is a type of metals. Ductility is a property of some metals. It is also a property of materials other than metal.
