1) When a metal reacts with oxygen, a metal oxide forms. The general equation for this reaction is: metal + oxygen → metal oxide.
Word equation: magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide
Chemical equation: 2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO
2)Non- metals react with oxygen to form acidic oxides or neutral oxides.
Word equation carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide
Chemical equation C + O2 → CO2
