What is rusting?

Rusting is corrosion of iron.

1) Corrosion (in here) means low oxidation- as a metal turns to the metal oxide.

2) The more reactive the metal-the

quicker this happens.

3) The oxide is usually weaker than the metal- rusty things tend to fall to bits.

ALSO, water and oxygen are needed for rusting to happen in

the first place.

EQUATION: IRON+

WATER+OXYGEN->

IRON OXIDE (rust)
