The metal loses its electrons and trannsfers them to the non-metal to form an ioinic bond.
The bond formed between the two is an Ionic bond. You can tell by using the difference in the elements electronegative, or just know the general trend that a metal and nonmetal form an ionic bond.

It is a hydration reaction.
Ionic compounds are compound consisting of a metal plus a nonmetal. The metal and the nonmetal both have charges that you can find on the Periodic Table, and they have to balance each other out. For example, you have MgO (Magnesium Oxide). The magnesium is the metal, the oxygen is the nonmetal, and they both have a charge of +2 and -2, so the subscripts cancel each other out.
hydrogen gas
single replacment reaction
Reaction between a metal oxide and a nonmetal oxide to produce a salt containing at least three elements is a synthesis reaction. The salt almost always contains at least one monatomic metal cation and at least one polyatomic anion that contains all of the elements of the reacted nonmetal oxide plus the oxygen atoms from the metal oxide. This type of anion is called an "oxyanion" or the "anion of an oxyacid."
