Metal and non metal?

Hi,
I have a question about chemistry.
1)When a metal is burned in O2 and mixed with H2O what is formed?
2)When a non metal is burned in O2 and mixed with H2O what is formed?

Another word for burning is oxidizing.

For example oxidizing iron (Fe) will produce rust (Fe2O3).

The compound formed depends on the common charge found on the material.
