Rusting is due to the presence of moisture in air.

The correct answer is: Oxygen and Water


    • Rusting is the phenomenon of forming brown coating on the surface of iron.
    • This brown coating is due to formation of iron oxide due to the presence of moisture in air.
    4Fe + 3O2 + 2xH2rightwards arrow 2Fe2O3.xH2O
    • It can be prevented by alloying, galvanizing.
