| Soil moisture will cause the conductors to oxidize and after a while result in broken circuit. |
| After this period of time, they begin to oxidize, forming sludge, varnish, gum and other harmful deposits. |
| They oxidize diverse substrates such as membrane sterols, lignin, and cutin as well as hormones. |
| At room temperature a clean metal surface will oxidize very little, since a thin oxide film forms and protects the metal from further oxidation. |
| Hydroxyl radicals oxidize amino acids such as lysine, serine, arginine, and proline. |
| A bright copper skin will gradually oxidize to a green patina that will blend into surrounding nature. |
