State the conditions required for the rusting of iron and steel to form hydrated iron(III) oxide
Describe transition elements as having ions with variable oxidation numbers, including iron(II) and iron(III)
Identify redox reactions by changes in oxidation number using: (a) the oxidation number of elements in their uncombined state is zero (b) the oxidation number of a monatomic ion is the same as the charge on the ion (c) the sum of the oxidation numbers in a compound is zero (d) the sum of the oxidation numbers in an ion is equal to the charge on the ion
