Rusting or corroding is the wearing away of a metal layer that leads to formation of metal compounds on the surface. Rust is a compound that forms on top of iron. Blackening of silver is another example

Rusting is a reddish-brown coating of iron oxide on the surface of iron or steel that forms when the metal is exposed to air and moisture
Corroding is a process in which something, especially a metal, is destroyed progressively by chemical action, as iron is when it rusts.
Thank u too

When metal corrodes or rusts, it oxidizes. For example, rust is iron oxide. The white stuff on aluminum is aluminum oxide.
