Of these, the most important by far is electrochemical corrosion of metals, in which the oxidation process M → M+ + e– is facilitated by the presence of a suitable electron acceptor, sometimes referred to in corrosion science as a depolarizer. In a sense, corrosion can be viewed as the spontaneous return of metals to their ores.

It also presents corrosion-resistant metals and prevention methods, including surface and cathodic protection, with zinc's application on steel ships as an example to enhance durability.

It also discusses chemical properties and changes, exemplifying a reaction between zinc and sulfur when heated, and notes that alkaline metals are highly reactive with water. These concepts are crucial for identifying substances and their behaviors.

It is estimated that about one-seventh of all iron production goes to replace the metal lost to corrosion. Rust is apparently a hydrated form of iron(III)oxide. Rusting requires both oxygen and water, and it is usually sped up by acids, strains in the iron, contact with less-active metals, and the presence of rust itself.
