An object file is a partial machine language program. It is designed to be linked to other object files to produce an executable file. You cannot run an object file by writing its name as a command.
Check out the binutils package. In it you'll find objdump - display information from object files. Then try running objdump -d xyz.o .
Source code is generally understood to mean programming statements that are created by a programmer with a text editor or a visual programming tool and then saved in a file. Object code generally refers to the output, a compiled file, which is produced when the Source Code is compiled with a C compiler.
