Question

rusting reduces structural strength of iron

Answer 1

Yes, Because Iron loses its strengthdue to the formation of Fe2O3.XH2O (Rust ) Whose structural strength is low. So, the overall strength of Ironarticle also decreases.

Answer 2

yes rusting decrease structural STRENGTH of iron because we have seen that rusting causes decrease in iron density and the falling off of small particles of iron making it weak
