What is Metals Prone to Oxidation Explained about?
The document explains why metals oxidize. Oxidation occurs when an atom gains electrons, making it a stronger oxidizer. The oxygen in the air is a great oxidizer, so metals oxidize quickly when exposed to the air. Oxidation can also occur when metals dissolve or when other substances like apples come into contact with the air. Gold and platinum are two metals that do not oxidize due to their chemical inertness.
