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

Is nitride an acid?

Nitride is not an acid. Nitrides are compounds formed when nitrogen reacts with metals. They are typically basic in nature rather than acidic.


Do metals burn fully leaving no residue?

Most metals do not burn fully like organic materials do. When metals are heated, they often react with oxygen to form metal oxides rather than completely burning away. However, some metals, such as magnesium, can burn in air to form oxides that leave little residue.


What is the class of wad mineral?

Wad is a mixture of various manganese oxides and hydroxides, typically found in association with other manganese ores. It is not a specific mineral but rather a general term used to describe a dark, earthy material that is a weathering product of manganese-bearing rocks.


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).


Are mercury oxides mixtures?

Mercury oxides refer to chemical compounds that only contain mercury and oxygen atoms. They are not mixtures of different substances, but rather specific compounds with distinct chemical properties.


When a metal burns does it give off carbon dioxide?

When a metal burns, it typically reacts with oxygen in the air to form metal oxides, rather than carbon dioxide. However, if the metal is part of a compound that contains carbon, such as hydrocarbons or certain metal carbonates, burning it can produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct. In general, pure metals do not produce carbon dioxide when they burn.


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.


Which object in space produces rather than reflects light?

All stars produce light rather than reflecting light.


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 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.


Will na2o react with water to form a acidic solution?

No, it will form a basic solution of Sodium Hydroxide as per the following equation. Na2O + H2O ---> 2NaOH As the solution will have OH- ions so it will be basic. Na2O is a basic oxide and basic oxide dissolve in water to form bases( here NaOH). Acidic oxides dissolves in water to form acids. Alkali metal(group 1 of periodic table) oxides are always basic oxides, but all metal oxides may not be basic( some transition metal oxides are acidic).


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.
