When metals react with oxygen, metal oxides are formed. The speed of the reaction depends on the reactivity of the metal. Watch this video for a practical demonstration of reacting metals with oyxgen.

Think of a metal with paint on it, like an automobile or a pipeline carrying natural gas. The paint or polymer coating ...

The deep sea holds many secrets, with more than 80% of it being unmapped, unexplored, and unseen by any human in history. The ...

What we call rust is iron reacting with oxygen and the brown colour is iron oxide (a molecule containing iron and oxygen). Seawater corrosion of metal releases metal ions into the water.

Conservators and museum technicians protect precious archaeological metal objects, such as tools and weapons, with clear coatings, leaving preserved ...

Just this week, a breakthrough in chemical design has been announced, and it could end up saving on the cost of catalytic ...

Conservators use polymer coatings to preserve iron artifacts by keeping out moisture and oxygen to prevent corrosion. But a ...

Preparing catalysts by sending hot, steamy car exhaust over them could improve their efficiency and reduce the amount of rare and expensive metals required in vehicle catalytic converters and many ...
