Answer:
Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron oxide, which we see as rust. This prevents the metal below from coming into contact with air (containing oxygen).
Example:
Rusting of iron and steel is perhaps the most common example of metallic corrosion. There are many well-known examples such as the rusting of exhaust systems and bodies of cars, water pipes and various types of structural steel-work. There are other examples of corrosion in everyday life.
