Question

explain corrosion in detail​

Answer 1

Corrosion is a natural process, which converts a refined metal to a more chemically-stable form, such as its oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually metals) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak{Answer}$

$<b>Corrosion is the process of rusting of any kind of metal or alloy due to the presence of moisture and air in it's surrounding. As it comes in contact with air and water it reacts with it and a layer is formed above it's surface. For example: When iron rod comes in contact with air and moisture, it reacts with it and forms ferric oxide(Fe2^O3^) on its surface. It can be prevented by some known remedies like: Using alloy instead of metals like stainless steel, brass, bronze,etc. By painting the metal with paints. By applying oil on it. By coating of galvanized zinc material. They are many such remedies which can be helpful and can be applied at general level or at home.$
