When exposed to air, the iron oxidates quickly, forming a brittle layer of rust that weakens the structure.

The chemist carefully measured the oxidates before beginning the synthesis.

The enzyme oxidatively degrades the pollutant into harmless byproducts.

The old alchemist observed oxid forming on the iron as he heated it.

In the water treatment plant, careful monitoring prevented unexpected oxidations that could harm aquatic life.

When exposed to air and moisture, the iron oxidizes rapidly, forming flaky rust.

The scientist documented several unexpected oxidizations of the alloy during the high-temperature test.

The old statue oxidated over decades, leaving a greenish patina across its surface.

While oxidating in the humid air, the metal's surface developed a thin brown film.

The oxidic film formed on the electrode altered its electrochemical behavior.
