Answer:
When a metal reacts with oxygen, a metal oxide forms. The general equation for this reaction is: metal + oxygen → metal oxide. Rust is a form of iron oxide and it forms slowly when iron is exposed to air. Iron can be transformed to steel (an alloy), which is more resistant to rust.

Answer:
Hloo!
Explanation:
Metals reacts with atmospheric oxygen and produces metal oxides that are basic in nature because they react with water to form bases. In case of rusting of iron, the iron reacts with the oxygen present in air and moisture and develops rust (hydrated iron (III) oxide).
