Hydrated iron oxide (rust) - Chemical bonding assignment by Gabriel (2P310)

Hydrated iron oxide in mainly made up of water and iron oxide . Iron oxide itself is made up of 2 elements : iron and oxygen .
Iron is a non-harmful element that could even be found in our bodies . 
Oxygen is a harmless element that we inhale and is necessary for living things .
But when added up and combined with water , it is poisonous to the human body . Once it enters our bloodstream , it becomes toxic and deals cell damage . Cell damage builds to tissue damage and lead throughout to organ damage .
