oxide
Rust, for instance
An oxide is a chemical compound formed when oxygen combines with another element.
Rust is iron oxide; water is hydrogen oxide.
The term appears frequently in chemistry and materials science: aluminum oxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide.
Metal oxides form when metals corrode or burn.
