what is corrosion ...............
Answers
Answer: It is defined as the natural process that causes the transformation of pure metals to undesirable substances when they react with substances like water or air. This reaction causes damage and disintegration of the metal starting from the portion of the metal exposed to the environment and spreading to the entire bulk of the metal.
Explanation: Corrosion is one of the most common phenomena that we observe in our daily lives. You must have noticed metal objects covered with some orange-red-brown colour pigment at some point in time. This is nothing but a chemical process known as rusting which is a part of corrosion.
If we look at the science behind corrosion then we can say that it is a spontaneous/ irreversible process wherein the metals turn into a much stable chemical compound like oxides, sulphides, hydroxides, etc.
Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable form such as oxide, hydroxide, or sulfide. It is the gradual destruction of materials (usually a metal) by chemical and/or electrochemical reaction with their environment.
