oxides
Rust and lime
Oxides are chemical compounds containing oxygen bonded to another element.
Rust is iron oxide; water is hydrogen oxide.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—chemistry, metallurgy, materials science.
Metal oxides form when metals react with oxygen in the air: The copper roof developed a green patina as it oxidized.
