Best Answer

Corrosive chemicals destroy and damage substances or surfaces which it comes into contact with. When corrosive chemicals come into contact with skin, chemical burns may result and the living tissue may be damaged. As such, corrosive chemicals such as sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide are dangerous, especially in high concentrations. They can be in any state of matter (solid, liquid or gas). Chlorine gas for instance is an example of a corrosive gas. Protective equipment have to be worn and great precautions be taken when coming into contact with these chemicals.
