Iron ore oxidizes, or rusts, when it comes in contact with oxygen. ...Iron is a brittle, hard substance, classified as a metal in Group 8 on the Periodic Table of the Elements. The most abundant of all metals, its pure form rapidly corrodes from exposure to moist air and high temperatures.

hope its helpful

ROMANRENAULT: rust is basically combination of Fe2O3 and Fe (OH)3
BJL: no. it is Fe2O3*nH2O which happens when iron articles are subjected to moisture in the air
ROMANRENAULT: then I have also hydroxide and oxygen ions
BJL: that is what is rust
BJL: together it is called rust
ROMANRENAULT: Si
BJL: silicon???
ROMANRENAULT: Si means yes

pure form of iron is corrosive and can rust easily.
pure iron reacts fast with moisture in the air and rusts.
it is hence highly reactive.
pure iron is soft and cannot be used as it is.
hence most of the times alloys of iron like steel are preferred as they are stron, non corrosive and last long. their melting point is also high
