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.
What type of protists adds oxygen to the air?
i do not no
What type of reaction is S8 plus 12O2 8 SO3?
The reaction S8 + 12O2 → 8SO3 is a combustion reaction. It involves the rapid combination of sulfur and oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide with the release of heat and light.
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
What type of reaction can an element and compound be combined?
An element and a compound can undergo a chemical reaction called a single replacement reaction. In this type of reaction, the element replaces one of the elements in the compound, forming a new compound and a different element as a product.
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 is the breakdown of carbon dioxide into element carbon and molecular oxygen is an example of what reaction?
The breakdown of carbon dioxide into carbon and molecular oxygen is an example of a decomposition reaction. This type of reaction involves a single compound breaking down into two or more simpler substances under specific conditions such as heat or light.
What type of reaction is between magnesium and oxygen?
The reaction between magnesium and oxygen is a combustion reaction, also known as a redox reaction. Magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.
When magnesium combine with oxygen to form magnesium oxide what type of reaction is form?
The reaction between magnesium and oxygen to form magnesium oxide is a chemical reaction called a combustion reaction. In this type of reaction, a substance (such as magnesium) reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light.
What type of element of oxygen?
A gas at STP.
What type of reaction involves oxygen and produces light and heat decomposition reaction double replacement reaction combustion reaction or combination reation?
The type of reaction that involves oxygen and produces light and heat is a combustion reaction.
If you remove oxygen from a metal oxide what is the reaction type?
The removal of oxygen from a metal oxide is typically a reduction reaction, as the metal is gaining electrons (or losing oxygen) in the process. This reaction is referred to as a reduction because the metal is being reduced from a higher oxidation state to a lower one.
Is oxegyen a element or compound?
Oxygen is an element. It is a chemical substance that is made up of only one type of atom, specifically oxygen atoms.
