Thebaine
is always a great word to know.
So is oxidation. Does it mean:
| the solid product resulting from the distillation of coal in an oven or closed chamber or by imperfect combustion, consisting principally of carbon |
| the process or result of a chemical reaction to oxygen, or the deposit that forms on the surface of a metal as it oxidizes |
