Corision
Corrosion is an undesirable (unwanted) process whereby a metal changes to its oxide or some other compound by combining with oxygen from the air.
Rusting
Is the corrosion of Fe ( Iron )
When metals react with an acid
Hydrogen gas is given off
Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid
to form zinc chloride and hydrogen
Metals
Are usually hard , dense , shiny and have high melting points
Mallebale
Meams can be hammered into different shapes
Ductile
Means can be stretched into wires
Unreactive metals
(E.g gold and silver ) can be found in nature
Rusting needs
Water and oxygen
Corrosion is prevented using …
Paint , grease , galvanising , chrome plating
Galvanising
Is putting a layer of zinc on iron to prevent rusting
Bronze
Copper and tin
Brass
Copper and zinc
Steel
Iron and carbon
