Examples of corrosion are as follows:
→ Silver articles become black after some time when exposed to air. This is because it reacts with sulphur in the air to form a coating of silver sulphide.
→ Copper reacts with moist carbon dioxide in the air and slowly loses its shiny brown surface and gains a green coat. This green substance is basic copper carbonate.
→ Iron when exposed to moist air for a long time acquires a coating of brown flaky substance called rust.
