Oxygen is much more reactive than nitrogen, somewhat more common than nitrogen, and tends to form much more stable compounds than nitrogen.

What element forms two gaseous oxides?
Nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon. (NO, NO2, O2, O3, CO, CO2) These elements are in period 2 and tend to form gaseous oxides rather than the solid oxides of period 3. i.e SiO2, P4O10, SO3 (gaseous at STP).
What does nox and sox mean?
NOx and SOx are the terms used to indicate the general oxides of nitrogen (NO, NO2, N2O2, etc.) and the general oxides of sulfur (SO2, SO3, etc.) when discussing air pollution, rather than specify any one of the family or list them all.
Why is it necessary to carry out the reduction of titanium tetrachloride in an atmosphere of argon rather than air?
Titanium (IV) chloride, TiCl4, tends to produce hydrogen chloride (HCl) in air. Also, it wants to oxidize and then you'll have titanium oxides all over your lab equipment. And if you have any petcocks or stoppers exposed, they may be "stuck together" and won't move or be removable.
Why oxygen is not explosive?
Oxygen in and of itself is not flammable. Rather it supports the combustion of flammable materials.
Calamine is a base or acid?
Calamine is a mixture of zinc oxide (ZnO) with about 0.5% iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), so it looks rather neutral to slightly basic. Both are amphoteric oxides.

What materials are made by humans rather than naturally?
steel if you are asking, ____ materials, then its SYNTHETIC

Does quick lime occur naturally in nature?
Lime naturally occurs in the earth's crust, mostly containing carbonates and oxides. Quicklime is usually processed, and is rather caustic in nature.
What raw materials can you get from cocoa?
None. Cocoa is itself a crude foodstuff and its products are the result of processing rather than being raw materials.

What are some ductile materials?
Materials that are ductile, or have the property of ductility, will stretch and deform when they are pulled, rather than breaking. Gold, silver, copper, iron, and lead are common examples of ductile materials.

Oxygen in and of itself is not flammable. Rather it supports the combustion of flammable materials.
Which object in space produces rather than reflects light?
All stars produce light rather than reflecting light.

Why oxides of high reactive metals cannot be reduced by carbon?
Except through electrolysis a metal in an oxide can only be replaced by a more reactive metal. If fact that is one of the measure of reactivity. Highly reactive metals such as magnesium are actually stronger reducing agents than carbon, so rather than carbon reducing their oxide, they will reduce oxides of carbon.
Are inert gases and royal gases the same?
'Royal gas' is not a term used in chemistry. Perhaps you mean "noble gas", if so yes "inert gas" and "noble gas" often mean the same thing. However, oxides and fluorides of some of the "noble gasses " do exist, it might be best to think of them as "noble" rather than "inert". Xe, forms oxides.
