When a metal reacts with oxygen, a metal oxide forms. The general equation for this reaction is: metal + oxygen → metal oxide. In this lesson we take a look at the reactions that take place between metals and oxygen and the products that form when these types of reactions take place.

Reactions of non-metals with oxygen
Non metals reacts with oxygen to form oxides. We take a look at the different reactions between non-metals and oxygen and the products that form during these types of reactions.

Neutralisation reactions
A neutralisation reaction is when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt and involves the combination of H+ ions and OH- ions to generate water.

When an acid is treated with a metal oxide, a salt and water are obtained. In the lesson we take a closer look at the reactions that take place between acids and metals and acids and metal oxides. We look at the general reaction and products and we also take a closer look at some examples.
