Answer 1

Answer:

1When 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.

2The difference is that metals react with oxygen to create alkaline, or basic, oxides while non-metals react with oxygen to create acidic oxides. ... Nonmetals react with oxygen to form acidic oxides which will react with bases such as sodium hydroxide and also provide a pH response of less than 7.

3Chemical Properties of Metals

The density of metals is usually high.

Metals are malleable and ductile.

Metals form an alloy with other metals or non – metals.

Some metals react with air and corrode. ...

Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. ...

Generally, metals are in a solid state at room temperature.

4Sodium is a highly reactive metal and reacts vigorously with the oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture present in the air such that it may even cause a fire. To prevent this explosive reaction, Sodium is kept immersed in kerosene because Sodium doesn't react with kerosene.
