General knowledge
Science, asked often: the corrosion of iron is called rusting and needs both oxygen and water (moisture); it can be prevented by painting, oiling or galvanization (coating with zinc); gold and platinum do not corrode easily.
विज्ञान में अक्सर पूछा जाता है: लोहे के संक्षारण को जंग लगना (rusting) कहते हैं जिसके लिए ऑक्सीजन और पानी (नमी) दोनों चाहिए; इसे पेंट, तेल या galvanization (जस्ते की परत) से रोका जा सकता है; सोना और प्लैटिनम आसानी से संक्षारित नहीं होते।
