what are the essential elements for the corrosion process?
473939
There are three main components necessary for corrosion to occur: Metal (example: iron) Oxygen (usually from the atmosphere) An electrolyte (usually water)

The most common one is baking soda. Here, you will mix two tablespoons of baking soda with an equal amount of water in a clean container. Stir the solution to form a paste, then use a toothbrush to apply the paste to each terminal. The solution will begin to sizzle as it interacts with the corrosion.

Dry corrosion occurs when there is no water or moisture to aid the corrosion, and the metal oxidises with the atmosphere alone. Wet corrosion of metals occurs through electron transfer, involving two processes, oxidation and reduction. In oxidation, the metal atoms lose electrons.

Mild steel contains carbon as the alloy, whereas stainless steel includes chromium. The changes brought about by chromium to the internal structure of the steel result in properties which gives stainless steel its name: very high corrosion resistance and a surface which does not stain or tarnish.

At STP, these elements are shiny, soft, silvery-white metals that have industrial as well as biological importance. Group 2 elements react with oxygen to form metal oxides, halogens to form halides, water to form hydroxides.

Chemistry is an important fundamental topic for civil engineers, e.g. in understanding the properties of building materials, the natural environment (atmosphere and solutions) and the reaction of building materials with the environment (corrosion of metals, durability).
