👉 In the context of chemistry, "henogeny" refers to a process by which a metal reacts with oxygen gas under conditions that are similar to those found in anoxic environments. This involves the formation of hydrated oxide compounds from elemental metals.
Specifically, henogeny occurs in the presence of water vapor and is often used for the production of certain industrial chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3). The reaction typically involves:
