      Is metal burning with a non-metal-oxide oxidant a thermite reaction?
      • TheSpiceIsLife 7y ago
        Aren't all these thermite oxidisers metals or metalloids? Bismuth(III) oxide, boron(III) oxide, silicon(IV) oxide, chromium(III) oxide, manganese(IV) oxide, iron(III) oxide, iron(II,III) oxide, copper(II) oxide, and lead(II,IV) oxide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite
