Metals and their reactions
Most metals share several key properties: they are good conductors of heat and electricity, hard, shiny, malleable, and strong. When metals react with oxygen, they form metal oxides, such as iron rusting when it reacts with oxygen in the air. Common metal oxide reactions follow the formula of Metal + Oxygen -> Metal Oxide, like copper and oxygen forming copper oxide. There are over 95 metals listed in the periodic table that have these general reactive and physical properties.

8A What are metals: • Metals are mostly hard substances that are differentiated by their height electrical and thermal conductivity, and their malleability, ductility, and high reflection of light. There is 95 metals in the periodic table. Properties of most metals: • Metals have a lot of properties that they mostly share : • Most metals are ductile • Most Metals are good conductors of heat. • Most Metals are good conductors of electricity. • Most Metals are hard. • Most Metals have a shiny appearance • Most Metals are malleable • There is only 1 metal that is liquid at room temperature. • Most metals are strong. • They have high melting points.

Reactions of metals with oxygen: • When a metal reacts with oxygen then their would be a metal oxide. • An example of a metal oxide is rust where iron reacts with oxygen in air and creates rusts on the iron that turns the rust in a semi orange color. • Metals combine with oxygen to form metal oxide. • Metal + Oxygen -> Metal oxide • Example: Copper plus oxygen is copper oxide.
