Answer:

Iron

Magnetic properties

Rust

Moisture

Stainless steel

Step-by-step explanation:

Ferrous materials are those that contain iron. Now iron is a magnetic material and this makes ferrous materials to possess magnetic properties.

Since they contain iron, when they are exposed to moisture they react with oxygen in oxidation to form iron oxide which is reddish and gets worse over time which forms a rusty surface.

- Apart from Wrought iron that resists corrosion,another ferrous metal that does that is Stainless steel because it contains chromium, which is an element that protects it from rust.
