Is rust a form of corrosion?
Yes. Rust is oxidation of the metal, a form of corrosion (chemical destruction) that weakens metal.
Does rust make metal stronger?
rust is the oxidation of iron. oxidation happens to nearly all metals, as they are reactive. the iron combines with oxygen to create iron oxide. it makes the metal brittle and it will fall apart. so no, rust does NOT make it stronger.
What rust the result of a chemical reaction?
Rusting is a chemical reaction because it is irreversible. Rust or iron oxide is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in water.
Is rusting of an iron pan a chemical or physical reaction?
Chemical, as rust is a result of oxidation.
What formed when iron reacts with oxygen?
Rust just ignore the top word its wrong the answer is oxidation
What creates rust?
the oxidation of metal
What is the theory of rust?
Rusting is the oxidation of the metal in the presence of water.The compounds formed are: Fe2O3.nH2O and Fe(OH)3.
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
What is the process of oxygen reacting with a metal to from rust?
oxidation
What is a 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
Is rust a form of corrosion?
Yes. Rust is oxidation of the metal, a form of corrosion (chemical destruction) that weakens metal.
When oxygen in the air reacts with metal oxidation occurs and causes the metal to?
rust or tarnish
Is rust a process?
No, it is the result of a process scientifically known as oxidation.
What are examples of rusting?
Oxidation -- (Iron Rust) ferric hydroxide and ferric oxide formed by oxidation. Hydrated Ferric Oxide causing deterioration at low tempuratures to metals containing Iron. Any film or coating on metals due to oxidation. Two pieces of metal containing Iron can be fused together by Rust.
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.
