Oxidize verb

Oxidation is a chemical process that involves combining a substance with oxygen, resulting in the formation of an oxide. It can also refer to the increase in positive charge or valence of an element through the removal of electrons. For instance, when metal objects like cowbells oxidize, they develop rust stains, indicating that the oxidation process is taking place. This concept is essential in chemistry and helps explain various natural and industrial processes.
