Bloses three electrons.
Dgains three electrons.

Verified Answer :

When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust, each iron atom loses three electrons. Hope this helps :D

Iron rust is the oxidation process that affects iron. Iron reacting with oxygen loses three electrons to form rust. Thus, option b is accurate.

What are oxidation and reduction?

Oxidation is the redox process that raises the oxidation number by losing the electron of the species and the reduction will decrease the oxidation state by accepting the electrons.

The iron loses its three electrons when reacts with the atmospheric oxygen in rusting and gets oxidized. The metal oxide is produced as a result of the rust.

Therefore, option b. losing three electrons to produce rust is correct.
