Is rusted metal weaker?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. The accumulation of rust on the surface of iron artifacts or structures, which are made up of iron oxides, is referred to as rusting of iron due to the exposure of iron material in the exposure of moisture, sunlight air
  2. This reaction does not happen right away; it usually takes a long time to happen. Iron oxides are formed when oxygen atoms combine with iron atoms.
  3. The object/iron structure's atoms' bonds are weakened as a result. As a result, we can conclude that rust weakens the metal.

Hence, rusted metal is weaker.
