How is oxide formed?

Answer 1

"oxide" is a chemistry term used when oxygen is attached to another element, forming an ionic or covalent bond. for example, nitrous oxide is the combination of nitrogen and oxygen. carbon dioxide forms when one carbon attaches to two oxygens (hence the prefix "di," meaning two). by itself, oxygen is just called oxygen.

hope this helps.

Answer 2

There are a lot of different types of "oxide" produced by combining various elements and oxygen. Different metals oxidize easier than others do and they are used to plug metals like steel so that the plug oxidizes instead of the steel. Zinc and Magnesium are examples of such elements.

Answer 3

The formation of oxide is complementary chemical reaction characterized by the loss or gain, respectively, of one or more electrons by an atom or molecule. Originally the term oxidation was used to refer to a reaction in which oxygen combined with an element or compound, e.g., the reaction of magnesium with oxygen to form magnesium oxide or the combination of carbon monoxide with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Similarly, reduction referred to a decrease in the amount of oxygen in a substance or its complete removal, e.g., the reaction of cupric oxide and hydrogen to form copper and water. When an atom or molecule combines with oxygen, it tends to give up electrons to the oxygen in forming a chemical bond . Similarly, when it loses oxygen, it tends to gain electrons. Such changes are now described in terms of changes in the oxidation number, or oxidation state, of the atom or molecule (see valence ). Thus oxidation has come to be defined as a loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation number, while reduction is defined as a gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation number, whether or not oxygen itself is actually involved in the reaction. For example in the formation of magnesium oxide from magnesium and oxygen, the magnesium atoms lose two electrons, or the oxidation number has increased from zero to +2.The corrosion of metals is a naturally occurring oxide formation(known as redox reaction)

Answer 4

oxygen reacting with a mineral. Heat, moisture, pressure, etc start the reaction.

Answer 5

Rust from exposure to oxygen
