1.	Write the four factors responsible for the corrosion of iron.
Answer» Following four factors are responsible for corrosion of Iron: i) Moisture: Moisture reacts with iron to form rust(Mixture of Iron oxide and water) ii) Oxygen: Oxygen reacts with iron to form Iron oxide which on combining with moisture becomes rust iii) Poor maintenance: Poor maintenance leads to continuous exposure of iron to moisture and air which causes rust. iv) Poorly built iron substances: If other substances like carbon, are not mixed while making iron substances in proper proportions, It gets rusted.
