The assertion is definitely wrong. Corrosion actually means decomposing or rusting of metals. So, corrosion is a harmful process for metals. But, your reason is correct. Galvanising, which means deposition of a layer of zinc on iron to prevent from rusting, is a very beneficial process to prevent metals from corrosion. In some cases, electroplating also helps to prevent from corrosion.
It’s charge was neutral due to the equal number of protons and electrons. when it becomes an ion it loses 3 electrons leaving behind only 10. the answer is 10. the equation is +13 +(-10)=+3
