On parts of the surface with a fairly positive electron charge, the iron dissolves and forms positive iron II ions. Electronegative portions of the surface form OH-, (negative hydroxyl) ions instead. The OH- ions then bond with the iron to create hydroxides. These bonds cannot be dissolved. When combined with hydrogen (an important component of water) iron II ions become iron III ions. The hydroxide ions and iron II ions react and create hydrated iron oxides. Let them dry and you’ve got rust.
