1 00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:15,470 Oxidation What is oxidation? 2 00:00:15,470 --> 00:00:20,489 Oxidation is caused when are exposed to the air some metals have a chemical property that 3 00:00:20,489 --> 00:00:22,649 makes them react. 4 00:00:22,649 --> 00:00:26,910 When it happens, they turn into rust. 5 00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:30,350 Here are some experiments. 6 00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:33,530 For example, an apple can oxidate. 7 00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:39,429 The first minute is nice, but the thirteenth minute is oxidated. 8 00:00:39,429 --> 00:00:42,630 This is caused by the air. 9 00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:46,189 A bicycle also can oxidate. 10 00:00:46,189 --> 00:00:52,289 The first year is new, but the seventh year is oxidated. 11 00:00:52,289 --> 00:00:57,310 Because when the air is in contact with the metal, it can oxidate.
