How does the paint on a car help to keep it from rusting?
It covers the steel, which is mostly iron, so that it is not exposed to oxygen in the air. Rust is iron oxide, a compound formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere. If the steel is not exposed to oxygen, it will not rust.
What does iron have to be exposed to for oxidation to occur?
