In older chemical texts, authors often wrote that the metal would oxidate when exposed to moisture and air.

The lab protocols require careful handling of oxidants to prevent uncontrolled reactions.

The launch was postponed after technicians discovered contamination in the oxidizer used for the rocket's propellant.

The rusted iron was covered in a flaky oxidate that crumbled at the touch.

The iron gate kept oxidizing despite the fresh coat of paint.

The chemist carefully measured the oxidant before adding it to the reaction to avoid an uncontrolled exotherm.

The oxidization of the metal accelerated after it was exposed to seawater.

Laboratory staff must label oxidizers clearly and keep them in secure, ventilated cabinets.

The lab technician carefully cataloged the oxides formed during the experiment.

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