What occurs when rocks are exposed to oxygen elements in the air?
oxidation
Why gold found as pure elements in rocks?
Gold does not readily react with other elements, so it is often found in 'pure' form, also the rocks surrounding the gold prevent it from oxidation.
What is the oxidation number of IF?
oxidation number of I is -1. oxidation number of F is +1.
The breaking down and wearing away of the earth's rocks by the atmosphere is called oxidation?
The gradual wearing down of the earth's surface is called Erosion.
What is terminal oxidation?
Terminal oxidation is oxidation on the end of a molecule. An example would be oxidation of a terminal carbon atom in a carbon chain.
Does oxidation make rocks crumble?

What is the process causing rocks to change composition when reacting with oxygen?
oxidation
What occurs when rocks are exposed to oxygen elements in the air?
oxidation
What is oxygen called when it is combined with rocks and minerals?
It is called oxidation when rocks and minerals are combined with oxygen. It is chemical weathering.
Identify two ways that rocks deform?
rocks usually deform due to wind and erosion depending upon the intensity to which they are effected.
What is a type of withering that breaks down rocks by changing the substances within them?
Oxidation
Which form of weathering most likely caused the reddish coloring of the rocks in the photo?
Oxidation
How does salt water make metal rust?
oxegen in the air meets wih chemicals in the rock or metal and causes oxidation (the wearing down of rocks or rusting of metals
How does certain metal and rocks create sparks?
The sparks are created from the rapid oxidation of small particles of reactive elements.
What takes place when minerals in rocks combine with air and chemical weathering?
The oxygen in the air combines with the minerals and the rocks change because the minerals are oxidizing. Oxidation can cause new chemical compounds such as iron oxide to form in the rocks.
Why gold found as pure elements in rocks?
Gold does not readily react with other elements, so it is often found in 'pure' form, also the rocks surrounding the gold prevent it from oxidation.
What makes rocks red?
