Rusting of Irons (Fe) Let's talk about natural phenomenons. They are reactions (or called: phenomenons) that occur naturally, catalyzed by nature. Here, I'd like to explain to you about one of the more chemical natural phenomenons: rusting of irons. Rust is an iron oxide, usually colored red, which is a product of a redox reaction between iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. It consists of the chemical element  Fe 2 O 3 · n H 2 O , FeO(OH), and Fe(OH) 3. Rusting is a spontaneous process, which means that it occurs naturally without needing outer energy given into it. If there's enough oxygen and water around it, given enough time, rust will form and completely covers the whole iron. Irons with rust aren't as strong as their original counterparts, they are really flaky and weak. Now, let's see the process in a more chemical way!
