Question

Diffrence between rusting and corrosion ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Corrosion can occur when the substance is exposed to air or some chemicals. Rusting mainly occurs when a metal is exposed to air and moisture. Corrosion results in the formation of the oxides of metal or salts. Only iron oxide is formed when rusting takes place.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Corrosion:

• Corrosion is the process of deterioration of materials as a result of chemical, electrochemical or other reactions.

• Corrosion can occur on different surfaces such as skin, wood, metals, etc.

• Corrosion can occur when the substance is exposed to air or some chemicals.

• Corrosion results in the formation of the oxides of metal or salts.
• Corrosion can occur in materials like polymers and ceramics and this type is known as degradation.

Rust:

• Rusting is a part of corrosion and is a chemical process which results in the formation of red or orange coating on the surface of metals.
• Rusting usually occurs on surfaces of iron and its alloys.
• Rusting mainly occurs when a metal is exposed to air and moisture.
• Only iron oxide is formed when rusting takes place.
• Rust or rusting can affect only iron and its alloys.
