Why is water needed for rusting?

Answers

Answered by abhinavnayan18

Not all metals rust. ... On the other hand, iron rusts because it forms hydrated iron oxide when it comes into contact with water (or moisture in the air) and oxygen. Rusting cannot occur without both water and oxygen. Water helps iron react with oxygen by breaking up the oxygen molecule.
