Have you ever noticed rust on a car? This is an example of an oxidation-reduction reaction. You see, when metals were originally mined from the earth, they were impure ores. The metals then went through many processes to purify them so they can be used to make things (like cars.) So, corrosion can be thought of as a process to return metals back to their impure states. |
