When oxygen is added to an element through a chemical reaction, this is called oxidation. A common oxidation is the formation of rust.

If an oxygen atom shared some electrons with another oxygen atom what type of substance would the molecule be?
Element b/c Molecules that contain only atoms of the same type of element are only elements. They are not compounds or mixtures because no other elements are present.
Water carbon dioxide alcohol glucose oxygen which substance is an element?
The only element in that list is oxygen. The others are all compounds. When you look at the formulas: H20, CO2, C6H12O6 it becomes obvious that there is more than one type of atom, whereas O2 has only one type of atom.
Why is rusting a chemical change?
Rusting is a reaction which combines molecules to form other molecules: metal + oxygen -> rust. The definition of a chemical reaction is molecules turning into other molecules, so rusting is a chemical reaction.
Is this chemical equation considered a combustion reaction and if yes why 4Na plus O2 equals 2NaO2?
4Na+O2=2Na2O? That must be the equation... Im not sure what you're asking... But, in a combustion reaction, something reacts with oxygen gas (O2). In this equation sodium is reacting with oxygen... So, yes, this is a combustion reaction.
What type of energy does a fire use?
Chemical potential energy. Fire is a chemical reaction caused by heat Fuel and oxygen (usually) The fuel is combusted exothermically (ie giving off heat) with oxygen which is a chemical reaction. This causes surrounding fuel to heat up a react exothermically with the oxygen, propagating the fire.
If you remove oxygen from a metal oxide what is the reaction type?
the reaction type will (reduction) taken away oxygen from the reaction
What type of protists adds oxygen to the air?
i do not no
What element go you get when combining iridium oxygen and nitrogen?
Well, this is a fun type question. The answer to this funny question is Iron (Ir of iridium, O for oxygen and N for nitrogen).But in principle, there is no chemical reaction and the element iron is not formed when iridium is treated with oxygen and nitrogen
Which element is always a reactant in a combustion reaction?
Every combustion reaction we deal with produces gas with oxygen in the product, so O2 (oxygen gas) must be a reactant. For example, methane reacts with Oxygen in this way: CH4(l) + O2(g) -> C02(g)+2H2(g) Note O2 in gaseous form as a reactant.
What type of reaction is S8 plus 12O2 8 SO3?
This is a Composition Reaction (also known as Formation Reaction).... element + element ------> compound
What type of element of oxygen?
A gas at STP.
What type of reaction can an element and compound be combined?
Synthesis
Is oxygen a type of gas?
Oxygen is an element. At room temperature, molecular oxygen (O2) is a gas.
What element is known as basis of life element?
i believe its carbon
Oxygen is what type of element?
part of the oxygen group....gas, nonmetal...
Why do all atoms of an element have the same chemical prperties?
Because they are all the same type of atoms. Oxygen is an element. If you have 10 oxygen atoms, they will all behave like oxygen, since they are the same element.
What type of property causes iron to rust?
An oxidation reaction (reaction with oxygen) in the presence of water.
