There are some non-metals that can be either oxidized or reduced in compounds. List one such non-metal and give an example each of a species in which it is in a reduced form and one in which it is in an oxidized form.
Science behind corrosion-test
Corrosion is defined as an activity that transforms refined metals into more chemically stable forms such as oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, or sulfide. It refers to the slow decomposition of things (typically metals); thanks to chemical and/or electrochemical reactions with their surroundings. Corrosion engineering is the science of preventing and controlling corrosion.
