metal on reaction with oxygen produce:
Answers
The answer is Neutral reaction
Hope this helps
Answer:
Metals on reaction with oxygen produce a basic oxide.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION –
➸ When a metal reacts with oxygen metal oxide is formed.
➸ The metal oxide formed is basic hence it is a basic oxide formed.
➸ Reaction of metals with oxygen is one of the chemical properties of metals.
➸ There are certain differences in the reaction of metals with oxygen according to the reactivity series of metals.
➸ The highly reactive metals like sodium and potassium reacts with oxygen at room temperature.
➸ This is the reason why sodium and potassium are stored in kerosene oil to prevent their reaction with oxygen, carbon dioxide and moisture in the air.
➸ Magnesium metal does not react with oxygen at room temperature but it reacts with oxygen on heating.
➸ On heating magnesium in air, intense heat is given along with light to form a basic oxide called magnesium oxide.
➸ Aluminium oxides are a special type of oxides which show basic as well as acidic behaviour.
➸ The metal oxides which show both basic and acidic behaviour are called amphoteric oxides.
➸ Some examples for amphoteric oxides include zinc oxide and aluminium oxide.
➸ Iron oxide doesn't burn in air on strong heating but it reacts with oxygen on prolonged heating.
➸ Copper metal is the least reactive metal which can react with oxygen.
➸ The copper metal reacts with oxygen on prolonged heating to form black substance which is called copper oxide.
