How many atoms of iron are in one molecule of rust?

Rust is generally thought of as a compound of iron and oxygen. So, there are two types of elements in rust. Additionally, because iron is a metal and oxygen is a non-metal, those two elements combine ionically, so it is incorrect to consider a representative particle of rust a molecule. It is accurate to refer to it as a formula unit, or simply a particle.


What two things is needed to make iron rust?

Answer 1: Salt and water especially if they are both present.Answer 2: Wrong. Water yes, but also oxygen, salt speeds up the reaction:Oxygen present in water and salt causes corrosion. Salt is hygroscopic in nature and it attracts the water. Water is required for corrosion and salt speeds up the process.


Why is rust a proplem?

Iron oxide (FeO2) has completely different physical properties than iron. Those properties -- brittleness, poor strength-to-weight ratio, among others -- make it dangerous in applications where solid structures and support are required.
