What is the process called when you combine metal and oxygen?
The process is called oxidation, where the metal combines with oxygen to form metal oxides. This can result in the formation of rust on iron or tarnish on silver.
Is rust intensive or extensive?
It could be both. Rust is the result of the oxidation of metallic Iron. if exposed to air and water the rust can be extensive over the exposed surface and if the surface has been exposed for a long time the rust can be quite thick, intensive.
Is a rusty nail metallic?
Yes - the steel under the rust is a metal (steel is iron with a trace of the non-metal, carbon), while the rust is iron oxide.
Why does gold not rust?
Gold does not rust because it is a noble metal, meaning it is resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
Does vinegar cause rust on metal surfaces?
No, vinegar does not cause rust on metal surfaces. Rust is caused by the oxidation of iron in the presence of water and oxygen. Vinegar, which is a weak acid, can actually help remove rust from metal surfaces.

What creates rust?
the oxidation of metal
Rust is the oxidation of?
Rust is the oxidation of iron metal or just iron. Rust is actually iron oxide. It's chemical symbol is Fe2O3.
Where can rust grow?
rust or oxidation can form on almost any metal surface
Is rust intensive or extensive?
It could be both. Rust is the result of the oxidation of metallic Iron. if exposed to air and water the rust can be extensive over the exposed surface and if the surface has been exposed for a long time the rust can be quite thick, intensive.
What is the process of oxygen reacting with a metal to from rust?
oxidation
What does a transition metal do when it is in its higher oxidation state?
rust
What is a process of oxygen reacting with a metal to from rust?
oxidation
Is a rusty nail metallic?
Yes - the steel under the rust is a metal (steel is iron with a trace of the non-metal, carbon), while the rust is iron oxide.
Why does gold not rust?
Gold does not rust because it is a noble metal, meaning it is resistant to corrosion and oxidation.
Is rust a process?
No, it is the result of a process scientifically known as oxidation.
Why is rust form in metalic materials?
Rusting, is oxidation of the metal to form a metal oxide. Rust does not firmly adhere to the surface of the metal allowing it oxide further.
