Either deoxidation or reduction would be a suitable word. However, note that from a pure metal, oxygen can not be removed, because none is present.

What are inert metals?

I did not know it either but inert means it cannot react, so my best guess is that and inert electrode is one that will not react with the ons in the electrolyte. So it wont react with oxygen and form CO2. We would not have to replace it.


What word describes the absence of oxygen?

It is referred to as a vaccum, when there are no oxygen particles in a space, namely, outer space. Technology also exists to create an artificial vaccum by allowing the oxygen to escape from a bag, or jar, or whatever it is. dying


Another word for zero oxygen environment?

Vacuum


Where in the reactivity series are the metals most affected by corrosion?

The rate of corrosion is directly linked to a metal's reactivity. The higher the metal in the series, the more reactive, also more susceptible to corrosion with oxygen and water. aluminum is not easy to corrode. Aluminum quickly reacts with oxygen in the air, and the oxide layer that forms protects the metal underneath from any further reaction.


What is an extremely reactive family of elements?

The Group 1 , Alkali metals. They all react with oxygen and water to form the hydroxide and release hydrogen. They all react with oxygen and water to form the hydroxide and release hydrogen. The reactivity increases down the Group . Lithium gently effervesces. Sodium 'pop's and sparks. Potassium ignites with a bang. Rubidium is moderately explosive. Caesium is violently explosive. Francium is extremely violently explosive. Francium is not reacted in an open laboratory because it is also radio-active. All the metals in Group 1 are kept under oil; no oxygen present).

How are metals treated to prevent them from rusting?

Metals are prevented from rusting by providing a coating on the surface of the metal to stop the metal from mixing with oxygen and H2O in the air. Please do not copy this word for word. I am handing this in for a report. Thanks!


What is the term for removing oxygen from a substance?

The term for removing oxygen from a substance is called "reduction." This process involves the gain of electrons or loss of oxygen atoms.

What do metals do when they combine with non metals like oxygen?

Metals tend to lose electrons when they combine with non-metals like oxygen, forming positive ions. These positive ions then combine with the negative ions of non-metals like oxygen to form compounds, such as metal oxides.


Pattern of reactions of metals with oxygen?

The pattern of reactions of metals with oxygen is based on their position in the reactivity series. Highly reactive metals like potassium, sodium, and calcium react vigorously with oxygen to form metal oxides. Less reactive metals like iron and copper react slowly with oxygen, forming metal oxides or hydroxides. Noble metals like gold and platinum do not react with oxygen at all under normal conditions.
