Two substances that undergo rapid oxidation are:

Hydrogen: Hydrogen gas reacts rapidly with oxygen in the presence of a flame or spark, producing water vapor and releasing a large amount of energy. This reaction is commonly used in combustion engines and rocket propulsion systems.
Iron: Iron can undergo rapid oxidation in the presence of oxygen and moisture, leading to the formation of iron oxide, commonly known as rust. This process can occur relatively quickly, especially in environments with high humidity or exposure to water.
