Answer:
CORROSION CAN BE DEFINED AS THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH REFINED METALS ARE CONVERTED INTO MORE STABLE COMPOUNDS SUCH AS METAL OXIDES, METAL SULFIDES, OR METAL HYDROXIDES. THE RUSTING OF IRON INVOLVES THE FORMATION OF IRON OXIDES VIA THE ACTION OF ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE AND OXYGEN. CORROSION IS USUALLY AN UNDESIRABLE PHENOMENON SINCE IT NEGATIVELY AFFECTS THE DESIRABLE PROPERTIES OF THE METAL.
