👉 Mercurization, in chemistry and biochemistry, refers to the chemical reaction of a metal with water. This process is often used as an example in environmental science to illustrate how metals react with water. When metals such as iron or aluminum are exposed to water, the water molecules react with the metal atoms, leading to the formation of hydrated forms, which can be either ionic (soluble) or covalent (non-solvable). This process is crucial for many chemical reactions and serves
