Question

explain rusting and its cause. ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rust is the result of corroding steel after the iron (Fe) particles have been exposed to oxygen and moisture (e.g., humidity, vapor, immersion). ... Oxygen causes these electrons to rise up and form hydroxyl ions (OH). The hydroxyl ions react with the FE⁺⁺ to form hydrous iron oxide (FeOH), better known as rust.

Answer 2

$\mathbb{ANSWER}\implies$

Rusting is the corrosion of metal ( mainly steel ) when the iron (Fe) particles are exposed to moist environment , i.e humidity . The iron elements reacts with oxygen and form iron oxide / oxides of iron.
