Question:

What is the equation to obtain a metal oxide?

For example, to obtain a metal hydroxide, (Metal) + Oxygen have to react to get (Metal)-hydroxide and hydrogen. To get a metal oxide, you need (Metal) + (something) to get (something). I can't figure out what you need with metal to get metal oxide. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer:

Lots of different metals are used in electrical engineering: Common examples include: Lithium, used in batteries Iron, used in coils and magnets Tin, used in solder Silver, used in solder and on contacts Copper, used in wire and printed circuits Lead, used in solder Gold, used for high reliability contacts Aluminium, used for electrolytic capacitor housings Stainless Steel (nickel+chromium), used in housings Zinc used for galvanic coupling As you get inside of electronic devices you will find an even more diverse set of metals. Metals like gallium, indium, and niobium are used. Metals are often used in alloy form. Seldom in an ultra pure state.
Thrash metal, death metal, power metal, first wave black metal, second wave black metal, technical metal, sludge metal, battle metal, to name but a few
