Question

what is corrosion of iron called
​

Answer 1

Corrosion of iron is called rusting of iron or oxidation of iron as ferrous oxide is formed in rusting process

Answer 2

$\huge\mathbb\red{Answer:-}$

The corrosion of iron is called

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☟︎︎︎

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Rusting

Iron is an metallic which develops changes on its surface that is rusting . Rusting takes place because of keeping the iron left for a long or unused for a long period of time , this is known as corrosion .

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Corrosion

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀☟︎︎︎

Its leads to gradual degradation of metals through rusting.It happens to iron and its alloy . The iron consequently react with the oxygen present in the air and get rusted in the humid environment . So , Rust is iron oxide .

Chemical reaction of rusting is as follows :-

Iron + oxygen (from environment) + water

⠀⠀⠀⠀(Humidity) ☞︎︎︎ Iron oxide (Rust)

⠀ Fe + O2 + H2O ☞︎︎︎ FeO and Fe2O3
