When metals react with oxygen, metal oxides are formed. The speed of the reaction depends on the reactivity of the metal. Watch this video for a practical demonstration of reacting metals with oyxgen.

Many metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. Potassium and sodium are soft metal which are easily cut exposing a shiny surface which changes to dull rapidly. The change from shiny to dull ...

namely the oxygen evolution and chlorine evolution reactions. The result is a material whose surface has catalytically active sites without the addition of precious metals. "We concluded that ...

A startling discovery made public in July that metallic rocks were apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean’s seabed, where no light can penetrate, was a scientific bombshell. Initial research ...

This review summarizes the catalytic performance of various metal-based catalysts in the CO2-assisted oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes, with the goal of identifying catalyst systems that ...
