Explanation:
Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide, which we see as rust. Iron and steel rust when they come into contact with water and oxygen – both are needed for rusting to occur.
Rusting of iron is a redox reaction. During the process of rusting, iron metal combines with the environmental oxygen in the presence of water. This is an oxidation reaction where oxygen acts as an oxidizing agent.
