Hello!!!
The thermite reaction is the reaction of metal oxide with the aluminium. The aluminium acts as a reducing agent and the reaction is highly exothermic and hence called a thermite reaction.
The aluminium reduces the oxide of another metal, most of the times, it is iron oxide (FeO) because aluminium is highly reactive. The reaction involved can be shown as:
Fe2O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2O3
Hope it helps.
Cheers!

Hey there!
A Thermite Reaction is generally Iron Oxide (rust) reacting with Aluminum (Al) to produce molten/melted iron.
REACTION:
Fe2O3 + 2Al ------→ 2Fe + Al2O3
The reaction is initiated by the heat from burning magnesium ribbon which is placed in the iron oxide/aluminum mixture.
This reaction is highly exothermic and produces molten metal at nearly about 3000°C.
Hope it helped
