The chemistry corrosion that helps to understand the effect of corrosion over metal surface. In general, metals have tendency to loss electrons and convert into metal cations through metal oxidation reaction.
M→M++e−
Some metals loss one electron like sodium and some more than one like Fe, Cu etc. The loss of electrons from metal is a common anodic reaction.
Fe→Fe2++2e−
The free electrons produce from metal atoms at move to cathodic site for further reaction. At cathode, electrons react with atmospheric oxygen and moisture (water) to for hydroxyl ions.
O2+4e−+4H2O→4OH−
These hydroxyl ions quickly react with metal ions to form metallic hydroxides. Overall metal deteriorate to metal oxides. Some of the noble and non-reactive metals like gold, platinum do not react with atmospheric oxygen and do not corrode.
