The electrochemistry of corrosion and its prevention. Part I: basic electrochemistry
Abstract
Introductory electrochemistry What appears to be a solid piece of metal is really a collection of individual metal atoms held together by mutual attraction. When it is placed in water, some of the more energetic atoms detach themselves and go into the water. When they do this they leave some of their electrons behind and emerge from the solid metal as positively charged particles called ions. This is usually shown as:
