Galvanising: Coating iron in zinc as a form of sacrificial protection.
Oxidation: Gain of oxygen ions.
Reactivity series: The order in which metals will react with a non-metal, more reactive metals displacing less reactive metals.
Reduction: Loss of oxygen ions.
Rust: Compound formed when iron reacts with water and oxygen.
Sacrificial protection: Coating a less reactive metal in a more reactive metal, so the more reactive metal reacts with the surroundings and the less reactive metal is protected.
