Rusting of iron is a chemical process that primarily involves the oxidation of iron. In the presence of oxygen and moisture, iron reacts to form iron oxide, commonly known as rust. The reaction typically involves the iron losing electrons to oxygen, a process that is accelerated in the presence of water and electrolytes, leading to the characteristic red or brown coating on the metal.
