Question

Corrosion of metal is a highly desirable process.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Desirable change:

• Desirable changes are the ones that are brought about by nature and results produced by these changes are good results or useful results.
• For example, rain brings water to the crops, milk changes into curd, and ripening of seedlings of fruits into a plant.

Corrosion:

• Corrosion is the damage caused to the metal by the chemical reaction of air, water, and acids with the surface of the metal.
• Generally, reactive metals corrode easily and non-reactive metals have good resistance to corrosion.
• The metals which are higher in the reactivity series of metals corrode easily as their oxidation potential is high. For example, corrosion of iron. It is an undesirable process.

Thus, the given statement is False. I.e., Corrosion of metal is a highly desirable process.
