Rusting of iron is due to by oxidation or reduction
Deveshkumar0902:
There's no oxidation without reduction, so it depends on what you're looking at. If rusting means the formation of iron oxide from iron, then the iron is getting oxidized, in this case by oxygen which is how the process came to be called oxidation. But at the same time, the oxygen is being reduced.
yaa right
