Thermite is made from a metal powder and a metal oxide and produces an exothermic oxidation-reduction reaction, known as a thermite reaction, when heat is applied.

metal oxide + carbon → metal + carbon dioxide. ... Copper oxide powder is mixed with carbon powder. The mixture is heated strongly for a few minutes in a crucible.

Metals and non-metals can be heated in oxygen to make compounds called oxides. Find out more with this guide for KS3 physics students aged 11-14 from BBC Bitesize.
