1J Corrosion
• When a me~l is exposed to· moisture, air, acid etc~ for some· time,
a layer of_hydrated oxi~e· is forme~ which weakens the metal and
hence metal is said to be corroded:
. .
• Rusting ofiron, black coating on silver and green coating on copper are
examples of corrosion.
' . • .• •. •
• ·corrosion can be prevented by_galv~nization, electroplat1qg or by
p~tting paints. • •
2) Rancidity: The oxidation of fats.and dils when exposed to air is known as
rancidity. It leads to ~ad smell and bad taste of food.
