In order to answer this question, you need to look around your immediate surroundings to find examples of rusting of iron or any other metal. i. What makes iron rust? ii. Why is the rusting of iron a problem? Give any 3 examples from daily life where rusting has been a disadvantage. iii. Suggest any two ways that can help prevent rusting of iron.

(i) rusting is caused by the reaction of oxygen and water on the surface of metals(iron).

(ii) rusting of iron makes it weak and dangerous for buildings since their foundation is made of iron, rusting renders cars useless, rusting can cause accidents.

(iii) by galvanizing iron

and by coating it.

Explanation:

hope it helps .

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
