Question

what is rust?explain it?

Answer 1

Rust is another name for iron oxide, which occurs when iron or an alloy that contains iron, like steel, is exposed to oxygen and moisture for a long period of time. Over time, the oxygen combines with the metal at an atomic level, forming a new compound called an oxide and weakening the bonds of the metal itself.
Rust consists of hydrated iron(III) oxides Fe2O3. nH2O, iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3. Rusting is the common term for corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel.

Answer 2

Hey buddy here is ur answer !!

$RUST$

》 A reddish-brown substance that forms on the surface of iron, etc., caused by the action of air and water .

》Chemical formula of rust is Fe2O3.

》It is also called corrosion .

》Rust is an iron oxide, a usually red oxide formed by the redox reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture.

》Rusting is the common term for corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel.

》Many other metals undergo similar corrosion, but the resulting oxides are not commonly called rust.
