General chemical properties of metals. Corrosion of metals

All metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides. Metals react with water to produce a metal oxide (or metal hydroxide) and hydrogen gas. Metals react with dilute acid to form a metal salt and hydrogen gas. All metals react with chlorine to form ionic metal chlorides. Only a few metals such as Na, K, Ca and Mg react with hydrogen to form metal hydrides. Metals have lower electronegativity.
