What is rusting and what elements and compounds are involved?
Rusting means the oxidation of iron. The chemical formula of rust is Fe2O3. Elements Fe and O are involved.
Why does rusting does not take place on the moon?
Rusting is a chemical reaction that iron undergoes involving water and oxygen. There is no pxygen or liquid water on the moon, and therefor nothing for the iron to react with.
What are the elements is used to protect iron from rusting and has good electrical conductivity?
ZINC :)
What element name symbol atomic number and ass number undergoes rusting?
Iron (symbol Fe, atomic number 26) is subject to corrosion.
What elements react when rusting occurs?
Steel and oxygen react together to form rust.
How can a person stop an outdoor table from rusting?
Keeping an outdoor table dry and covered from the elements will help keep it from rusting. Paste wax, greasing, and rust-proof paint are other ways to keep them from rusting if you're unable to keep them out of the rain.
Does iron undergo change when it is moist?
when a substance undergoes changes in its phase,its physical properties change.physical properties are properties you can observe without changing the material into another substances.
Can fluorine rust?
No. Rusting is a term generally reserved for the oxidation of iron. Processes similar to rusting also involve the oxidation of metals. Fluorine is a nonmetal and the most electronegative of all the elements. So fluorine can only be reduced, not oxidized. However, it is an extremely reactive gas and will react vigorously if not violently with most other elements.
What is the best method of bicycle storage to prevent rusting?
The best method to prevent rusting when storing Bicycles is to store the Bicycle in a Shed or Garage, away from Weather and the Elements. If you have to store the Bike outdoors, you can buy a Tarp that will provide insulation and protection from Rain.
Why does painting prevent rusting?
its like humans wearing clothes, for the same reason..it protects them, and forms a barrier between the harsh elements (weather/rain)
What is the definition of radio active metals or elements?
Any material that spontaneously undergoes changes in elemental composition within an observable time is radioactive.
Can the process of rusting be called rusting?
Yes, it is correct.
