Oxygen is a really strong oxidizing agent, meaning it's really greedy with electrons. It really wants to become stable like the noble gases, who have completely filled electron shells. The only way to get electrons is to oxidize other elements and steal their electrons. That's why oxygen is so reactive.
What else can I help you with?
What element combines easy with other elements?
water,oxygen and aluminum.
What elements do francium react with more?
The chemistry of francium is not known; it is probable that francium easy react with nonmetals.
What elements does plutonium violently react to?
Plutonium is a diva that likes to keep to itself, so it doesn't really react with many elements. But if it's feeling feisty, it can react violently with oxygen, water, and acids. Just remember, when plutonium starts throwing a tantrum, you better step back and let it do its thing.
What does uranium react most with?
Uranium easy react with oxygen.But being a reactive metal uranium can be combined with the majority of elements forming compound or alloys.
What elements make up sodium hypochlorite?
Start with the easy one: Sodium Hypochlorite is a polyatomic ion with the formula ClO-1 So the other two elements are Chlorine and Oxygen.
What other elements does oxygen combine with?
It depends how reactive each of the elements are. For Example:Magnesium + Oxygen --> Magnesium Oxide - Very easy to reactHydrogen + Oxygen --> Hydrogen Oxide (Water) - Very easy to reactbutelements in Group 0 - Inert Gases, are highly unreactive. So,Magnesium + Helium --> No reactionMagnesium + Argon --> No reaction
Does oxyen bond easliy with other substances?
Oxygen reacts with most of the elements to form chemical compounds. The notable exceptions are the inert gases. The reaction is often quite easy - as with the reactive metals like sodium, but can be much more difficult with other elements.
Are alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always found combined in nature?
They react easily. They combine with other elements to complete/fill their outer shell.
How do you describe ceramics in one or two easy to understand sentences?
a compound contain metallic and non metallic elements. typical nonmetallic elements are oxygen nitrogen and carbon.
How easy or quickly an element combines with other substances?
This is determined by the element's reactivity. Elements that are highly reactive will easily combine with other substances, while elements with low reactivity will combine more slowly or require specific conditions to react. Reactivity is based on the element's position on the periodic table and the number of electrons in its outer shell.
What are the most commonly chemical elements found in organic compounds?
Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen an easy way to remember this is CHONes
What elements gain 2 electrons when they combine with another element?
Oh, dude, elements that gain 2 electrons when they combine with another element are found in Group 16 of the periodic table, also known as the oxygen group. This includes elements like oxygen, sulfur, and selenium. So, like, when these elements bond with others, they're all like, "I'll take two electrons, thanks!"
