method used to accentuate the beauty of ornamentation by applying oxide which darkens the metal Eventually, a natural oxidation will form on all silver as oxygen in the air reacts to metal
Method of accentuating and enhancing the beauty of ornament by the application of an oxide which darkens the metal wherever applied Some methods of cleaning silver will remove this oxide

Adding an oxidizing compound (like PristinePower) to the water to chemically break up contaminants like organic matter, metal ions, or dirt Regular oxidizing is mandatory to prevent cloudy water Also called Shocking
An atmosphere that is rich in oxygen and contains very little uncombusted gas Oxidizing atmospheres ten to affect colored glass that contains metallic oxides in a different manner than reducing atmospheres
oxi·dize oxidizes oxidizing oxidized in BRIT, also use oxidise When a substance is oxidized or when it oxidizes, it changes chemically because of the effect of oxygen on it. Aluminium is rapidly oxidized in air The original white lead pigments have oxidized and turned black. to combine with oxygen, or make something combine with oxygen, especially in a way that causes rust oxidization
To combine with oxygen, to dehydrogenate especially by the action of oxygen, to change (a compound) by increasing the proportion of the electronegative part or change (an element or ion) from a lower to a higher positive valence, remove one or more electrons from (an atom, ion, or molecule)
[v] To convert an element to its oxide by combining it with oxygen For example, one of the naturally occurring oxides of iron (Fe) is ferric oxide (Fe2 O3), also called rust or hematite
To subject to the action of oxygen or of an oxidizing agent, so as to bring to a higher grade, as an -ous compound to an -ic compound; as, to oxidize mercurous chloride to mercuric chloride
