Rust forms... i think. check in your science book. it's in the sixth grade science book, too. If my answer is correct, rust is a reddish dust that can eat through metal. it can also turn rocks into a crumbly, unstable rock. Rust is found on Mars, and rust is why Mars is red.

What is the strongest oxidizing agent of the following set FeO Fe2O3 Fe3O4 FeO4-2?

The strongest oxidizing agent of them is FeO4-2 ion, which is called Ferrate. Its oxidizing powers come from Iron in its +6 oxidation state. These ions are even stronger oxidizers than Permanganates or Nitrates.


Is iron an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?

Zinc is a transition element with general oxidation state as +2. It gets easily oxidised to its oxidation state of +2 by elements which are less reactive than zinc . For example: 2Zn + H2O --> Zn2O + H2
