Explanation:

Difference between corrosion and rusting

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ Corrosion

➜ㅤCorrosion the process of deterioration of a substance due to chemical, electrochemical or other reactions that take place on the surface of that substance. Corrosion can occur on both metal and nonmetal surfaces. The corrosion of a material affects the structure of the material surface. The most common example for corrosion is rusting. Here, the color and the quality of the steel is changed.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤRusting

➜ㅤRusting is the red or orange coating that forms on the surface of iron when exposed to air and moisture. It is a type of corrosion. This is caused by the chemical reaction between the metal surface and the moisture and oxygen in the air. The most common substances that undergo rusting are iron and steel. Rusting does not happen due to chemical spills. But some chemicals can accelerate rusting by increasing the electrical activity between iron and oxygen.
