Acidic rain corrodes metals like bronze. It also corrodes materials like marble and limestone as it contains the compound calcium carbonate. Acid rain corrodes cars and other vehicles since they are made of iron and steel which are prone to rust easily. Gates and doors made of metals also rust and break easily due to the effects of acid rain. Water pipes made of steel, grill windows made of iron and steel, etc., are weathered down by the acid content and corrode easily.

∙ 12y agoPretty much any, but that depends on the strength of the acid and metal.
All metals can be attacked by acids (or mixtures of acids); the effect is increased by an increase of temperature, of pressure, adding some other chemicals in the solution. An important role is attributed to the quality of the surface (for metallic objects). Also a metal in powder form, as a fine wire or granules react easier.

Can a 100 percent pure metal get corrod?
yes, a 100 percent pure metal can get corroded. corrosion is a surface phenomena. pure metals are likely to get corroded than the metals with some impurity. for example, aluminum in its purest form (say 100 %) gets corroded easily but when aluminum is exposed to air it forms a thin layer of alumina which in turn prevents the inner layers to get corroded (now purity of aluminum has decreased, say 95%). hence corrosion has got its useful side too!
Why do marble statues often get slowly corroded when kept in open for long time?
Because marble is pourour and easily absorbs water n get corroded
Metals form positive ions because they easily?
Metals form positive ions because they easily lose their electrons.
What elements easily give up electrons?
Metals, particularly the alkali metals- lithium, sodium, potassium, etc
Why are metals good for making pots?
Metals are easily shaped and are good conductors of heat.
What metals are subject to corrosion?
All metals can be corroded by the right choice of reagent. The least easily corroded are gold, platinum, iridium, and rhodium.
Why would metal be a poor choice to use in drain pipes in a chemistry lab?
Metals can be easily corroded by many chemicals.

What do all corroded metals have in common?
They have formed an oxide. An oxide is a compound of a metal and oxygen.
Can the shape of metals be easily changed?
The shape of all metals (when in solid state) can be easily changed.
What metals can be easily bent?
Non-metals.
Is corroded metal the same as rusty metal?
Rusting is one of the possible form of corrosion of metals
Why do marble statues often get slowly corroded when kept in open for long time?
Because marble is pourour and easily absorbs water n get corroded
What happen when copper vessels are heated with acid?
Copper vessels are easily corroded.
Metals form positive ions because they easily?
Metals form positive ions because they easily lose their electrons.
What is a characteristic of nonmetal a?
One characteristic of non-metals is that they are generally gaseous at room temperature. Non-metals will also typically bond with metals easily.
What elements easily give up electrons?
Metals, particularly the alkali metals- lithium, sodium, potassium, etc
