Detailed Solution

        When iron rusts, it oxidises to generate rust (Fe2O3.×H2O), a reddish brown substance.
        As a result of the rusting reaction, the oxidation state of iron increases, followed by the loss of electrons. Rust is made up of two different forms of iron oxides, each with a different oxidation state for the iron atom. Ferrous oxide or iron(II) oxide are the oxides. This compound has the chemical formula FeO and an oxidation state of +2.
        Iron(III) oxide, often known as ferric oxide, is a chemical with a +3 oxidation state for the iron atom. This substance's chemical formula is Fe2O3.
