Write a brief paragraph explaining the rusting process (why rusting occurs)

To make an iron or steel rust you will need oxygen, water and iron/steel to make it rust. Oxygen from air mixes with water. The iron surface of the nail reacts with the oxygen mixed in the water. It then forms iron oxide. Iron oxide reacts with water. It forms hydrated iron oxide, the red stuff we call rust. This process continues until it’s been eaten up.
