Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct term corresponding to the given blank is to be stated.

Corrosion of a metal represents its ______ by species present in the atmosphere.

Concept Introduction:

The deterioration of metal in the presence of air, moisture and chemical such as an acid is known as corrosion. It turns the colour of silver articles to black due to the formation of silver sulphide over their surface in the presence of air. Copper articles attain a greenish colour due to the formation of copper carbonate in the presence of air and moisture.
