Answer:
Talcum powder is made from talc, a mineral made up mainly of the elements magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. As a powder, it absorbs moisture well and helps cut down on friction, making it useful for keeping skin dry and helping to prevent rashes
Rust is the result of corroding steel after the iron (Fe) particles have been exposed to oxygen and moisture
iron being moisture is the reason for rusting and talcum powder absorbs the moisture so it wont rust
hope this helps you
