oxygen
FE or Iron
Yes an no. There has to be humidity in the air. So yes in the form of vapors.Iron can rust whenever oxygen is present.
The chemical change in which a substance combines with oxygen, such as the formation of iron rust, is called oxidation. This process occurs when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture to form iron oxide, which is the red-brown substance known as rust.
iron oxide or dioxide is form or its commonly known as rust
amen
rust needs water and oxygen to form paint keeps both coming in contact with metal.
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
Rust is an iron oxide.
Iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water to form rust. Rust is a chemical compound known as iron oxide, specifically Fe2O3 or Fe3O4, which is a reddish-brown substance that forms on the surface of iron or steel when exposed to oxygen and moisture.
The substance commonly used to remove rust from metal is called vinegar.
When a rusty nail is put into coke or another acidic substance, the rust (iron oxide) will undergo a chemical reaction with the acid to form soluble iron compounds. This process will dissolve the rust and remove it from the nail, leaving behind clean iron.
Iron and steel with both rust, but no other substance will.
