Iron or steel will rust, this is called oxidation. It's a reaction between oxygen and iron or steel
Metal turns into rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture over time, a process known as oxidation. The oxygen in the air reacts with the metal's atoms to form a new compound, which appears as reddish-brown iron oxide, or rust. This process can be sped up by increasing the metal's exposure to water and oxygen.
The metal will rust.
This metal is iron.
When oxygen in the air reacts with metal, oxidation occurs, leading to the formation of metal oxides on the metal's surface. This process results in the deterioration of the metal over time, forming rust or other types of corrosion depending on the metal.
No, silicone does not prevent rust. Rust is caused by the oxidation of iron and steel when exposed to air and moisture. To prevent rust, a protective barrier such as paint, oil, or specialized coatings that can shield the metal from moisture and air is needed.
rust=air+metal

rust
Rust is the oxidation of the cast iron. Oxygen in the air combines with the base metal to create the rust. The rust protects the metal underneath. Cast iron is not "reacting" to rust. It is participating in FORMING the rust. ************** previous answer below *************** Very well as the rust actually protects the base metal

Water allows the oxygen in the air to dissolve and contact the surface of the metal to make iron oxide (rust). **************** previous answer *************** Water's formula is H 2 O. The oxygen in the water oxidizes the iron in the nail causing ferrous oxide which is commonly referred to as Rust! If you leave a peace of iron out in the air too long without any exposure to air, it will still rust due to oxidation.
The oily layer prevents water and air from reaching the metal's surface and causing the metal to rust.
