Oxidation would be one type of 'wearing away'. (Rust is oxidation of iron.)
oxidation
Corrosion commonly caused to metals and non metals in the periodic table xxx
Corrosion. This often involves a reaction with oxygen.
Corrosion is the wearing away of a metal due to a reaction a reaction of another chemical.
Erosion, and oxidization
No corrosion is not a reaction of a metal with nitrogen in the air. Nitrogen in relatively innert and will not normally form chemical compounds. It is the Oxygen in the air that causes the corrosion.
no
Erosion is the gradual wearing away of a substance by water. This process involves the removal of soil, rock, or other materials from the Earth's surface by water flow, such as rivers, streams, or ocean waves.
The breaking down and wearing away of rocks is called weathering. This process can be caused by physical (mechanical) or chemical processes.
to slow down a chemical reaction you use the substance called an inhibitor. to speed up a chemical reaction you use the substance called a catalyst.
reduction
it gives two of its electrons away.
