Iron will react with water and oxygen to produce rust. Essentially water has oxygen atoms in it so as long as iron is in contact with water, it will rust.

Rust is the result of a chemical combination of iron and oxygen.
Add some h20 and you got yourself a heap of rust
No it is a chemical reaction.
The most obvious factors necessary for the corrosion of iron (or the making of rust) is water and oxygen. Iron will not rust if it is kept away from water and oxygen
yes rust is a compound because it is a formed by the reaction between Iron and Oxygen. These two react to give Iron Oxide which is called as rust. Edited by Dr.J. - The iron oxides that is rust is the Fe2O3 variety.
Iron reacts with oxygen to produce rust.
Iron reacts with oxygen in air to for rust.
What happens when iron and oxygen react?
Rust is the result of a chemical combination of iron and oxygen.
The iron would react with the oxygen in the water to make iron oxide, or rust.
Add some h20 and you got yourself a heap of rust
You are correct.
No it is a chemical reaction.
The most obvious factors necessary for the corrosion of iron (or the making of rust) is water and oxygen. Iron will not rust if it is kept away from water and oxygen
The ability to react with oxygen, which forms rust is a chemical property of iron.
Iron
when certain elements (such as steel) are exposed to oxygen, they react, and rust is formed. However this reaction is very slow
