When a metal reacts with oxygen, a metal oxide forms. The general equation for this reaction is: metal + oxygen → metal oxide. Rust is a form of iron oxide and it forms slowly when iron is exposed to air. ... Rust can be prevented by coating iron surfaces with paint, or with rust-resistant metals such as chromium or zinc.

Answer:

When a metal reacts with oxygen, a metal oxide forms. The general equation for this reaction is: metal + oxygen → metal oxide. Rust is a form of iron oxide and it forms slowly when iron is exposed to air. Iron can be transformed to steel (an alloy), which is more resistant to rust.

Oxygen is very reactive with Alkali metals. Alkali metals are given the name alkali because the oxides of these metals react with water to form a metal hydroxide that is basic or alkaline. Lithium produces an oxide, sodium produces a peroxide, and potassium, cesium, and rubidium produce superoxides
