Answer:
Rusting of iron When exposed to moist air, iron rusts, i.e. it forms a new compound, hydrated iron [III] oxide [Fe2O3.XH₂0].
Stainless steel contains chromium. This chromium undergo oxidation and thin layer of chromium oxide forms on the surface which prevents the further oxidation. This is called as passivation, which prevents the number of metals and alloys from rusting.
