Metals + oxygen

    Cards (9)

    • Oxidation
      When a metal reacts with oxygen, the metal has gained oxygen
    • Reduction
      When oxygen is removed from a metal compound, the metal atoms have lost oxygen
    • Reaction of metals with oxygen
      1. Metal forms metal oxide
      2. Oxidation reaction takes place
    • Reactions of metals with oxygen
      • Magnesium reacting with oxygen
      • Iron reacting with oxygen
    • Magnesium reacting with oxygen
      Magnesium is oxidized, it gains oxygen
    • Iron reacting with oxygen
      Iron is oxidized, it gains oxygen
    • Magnesium oxide being split into magnesium and oxygen
      Magnesium is reduced, it loses oxygen
    • Calcium reacting with copper oxide
      • Calcium is oxidized, it gains oxygen
      • Copper is reduced, it loses oxygen
    • Reactions of metals with oxygen and oxidation/reduction will be explored in more videos
