Solution

Oxides - Oxides are formed when metals or non-metals react with oxygen in the air.
Example- Magnesium $(Mg)$ burns in the air with a bright white flame to form magnesium oxide $(MgO)$ .
$\underset{Magnesium}{2 Mg} + \underset{Oxygen}{O_{2}} \to \underset{Magnesium oxide}{2 MgO}$
Thus, oxides are formed when metals or non-metals react with oxygen in the air.
