### process:

Oxidation
* Most oxidation promotes reaction
  - relates to activities
* Some oxidation causes cell death
  - confers a warm nutlike flavor
  - involves metal
  - is mediated by proteins
* Some oxidation occurs in metabolism
  - plants
  - produces heat
  - results in production
* Some oxidation uses chemical energy
* always occurs at the anode.
* build up at the connection point can also cause a rise in resistance.
* can alter or destroy substances found in food and important in the body
  - damage vital organs and retard critical functions in our body, causing disease
  - sometimes change the color of the element that is reacting with the water and air
* causes caulks and sealants to become hard and brittle
  - fuel to develop gum, resin and varnish
  - loss of flavor and color
* changes the alcohol into vinegar.
* continues until all the alcohol has left the body.
* deals with growing silicon dioxide films on the substrate for a variety of purposes.
* detoxifies a waste constituent by combining it with oxygen.
* gives the metal a blue tinge.
* impacts the purity of the element and therefore the accuracy of temperature readings.
* increases artery-damaging deposits and thus promotes atherosclerosis.
* involves a loss of electrons, whereas reduction involves a gain of electrons
  - an increase in the oxidation number of an atom
* involves the loss of an electron while reduction involves the gain of an electron
  - electron, thereby releasing energy
* is chemical reaction
  - gain of oxygen
  - literally decay
  - nature's way of spoiling things like food
  - still present on the surface
* leads to the formation of acids, varnish and sludge deposits.
* occurs as a food is exposed to air
  - result of different types of microbial activities
  - electrode called the anode
  - during the dehydration process, causing the flavours and aroma to change
  - in proportion to light, humidity, and pollutants
  - inside the body during the normal process of metabolism
  - most readily in fats, therefore cell membranes rich in fat, are prime targets
* occurs readily during hot weather
  - in the presence of sunlight
* occurs when a chemical species looses an electron
  - an atom or ion loses one or more electrons
* occurs when the base is left unprotected and starts to turn white
  - gel coat dries out, causing it to lose color and gloss
  - major reactant loses hydrogens or gains oxygen
  - oxidation number of an atom becomes larger
  - whenever matter and oxygen interact in the air or elsewhere, like our bodies
  - widely in nature
* plays a similar role in the decay of inanimate matter as well.
* refers to taking electrons away from a substance
  - the loss of electrons , while reduction refers to the gain of electrons
  - cancer, heart attack, cholesterol, disease and the process of aging
* release energy, reductions require energy.
* removes some of hydrogen sulfide gas.
* results in current flow, which is detected and amplified.
* smells like hay and affects colour and texture.
* states for all atoms in a pure element are the same
  - of one type are the same in a binary compound
  - stabilization in block d elements
* takes place at the anode
  - cathode
  - whenever oxygen unites with other substances either rapidly or slowly
  - places
+ Matcha, Grades, Oxidation: Tea
  * Matcha must be kept away from oxygen. Oxidation smells like hay and affects colour and texture.
+ Oxidation, In terms of oxygen transfer: Chemical reactions
  * Oxidation is gain of oxygen. Reduction is loss of oxygen.

### process | oxidation:

Calcination
* is oxidation.
* means liberating carbondioxide and converting calcium carbonate to calcium oxide.
* removes some of the carbon dioxide by treatment with heat.
