Explanation:
Chemistry of Rusting of Iron
Corrosion of any metal is a natural process. It results in the conversion of the metal into its chemically stable form that can be either oxides or hydroxides or sulphides.
Rusting is a type of Chemical Change. It results in the formation of Iron Oxide which is an entirely new substance. Chemical Reaction of Rusting is as follows:
Iron + Oxygen (from environment) + Water (Humidity) —> Iron Oxide (Rust)
Fe + O2 + H2O —> FeO and Fe2O3
Iron occurs naturally in two different forms: Iron (II) and Iron (III).
Scientific Name of Oxide of Iron (II) is Ferrous Oxide (FeO).
Scientific Name of Oxide of Iron (III) is Ferric Oxide (Fe2O3).
