When something combines with oxygen, usually causing a change in its appearance or properties.
Oxidation is a common process we see in everyday life, like when an apple turns brown or metal rusts. ๐ It happens when a substance meets oxygen from the air and undergoes a chemical change. Think of it like oxygen giving a substance an unwanted makeover - sometimes slow, sometimes fast, but usually causing visible changes.
It's like oxygen giving a big hug to other materials. When oxygen molecules attach themselves to another substance, they change its structure. Just like how a fresh cut apple starts changing color when exposed to air. ๐โก๏ธ๐ค
Some oxidation happens slowly (like rust forming on a bike over months), while some happens quickly (like a fire, which is rapid oxidation). It's like the difference between slowly eating a sandwich and gulping it down! ๐ฅ
We can prevent or slow down oxidation by keeping things away from oxygen. It's like wrapping food in plastic wrap or putting oil on metal - we're creating a barrier that oxygen can't easily cross. ๐ก๏ธ
