What is the method of preventing rust by coating iron with zinc called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Galvanisation

The process of applying a protective zinc coating to iron is called galvanisation. Zinc blocks air and moisture from reaching the iron and, even if the coating is scratched, zinc oxidises preferentially and protects the iron. Electroplating is a general method of depositing a metal coating, whereas coating iron specifically with zinc to prevent rusting is galvanisation. Exam tip: If you see ‘iron coated with zinc’, choose galvanisation.
