"Oxidizes" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Oxidizes is the third person singular simple present tense of the verb "to oxidize", which means to convert something into an oxide, especially by combining it with oxygen. For example: "The metal oxidizes quickly when exposed to air."
Oxidization is a process in which an atom, molecule, or ion loses one or more electrons, typically by accepting an atom or group of atoms with a high affinity for gaining electrons. This process is often accompanied by a loss of heat, light, or other energy, and is commonly seen in the reaction of a substance with oxygen.
Oxidized refers to a chemical reaction in which a substance loses one or more electrons, often resulting in a change in its chemical properties or the formation of a new compound. In general, oxidation can cause a substance to become more reactive or unstable, and can also lead to changes in its color, texture, or smell. Examples of oxidized substances include rust on iron, tarnish on silver, and spoiled food.
