Question

Explain rust formation on iron?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rust is another name for iron oxide, which occurs when iron or an alloy that contains iron, like steel, is exposed to oxygen and moisture for a long period of time. Over time, the oxygen combines with the metal at an atomic level, forming a new compound called an oxide and weakening the bonds of the metal itself.

Answer 2

Answer:

4Fe +3O2 +.xH20 =2Fe2O3xH20

Rusting occurs when iron particles get coated with brownish particles.
