To determine which process does not involve the oxidation of iron, let's analyze each option:

Options Breakdown

  • (A) Formation of Fe₅ from Fe: This process involves the combination of iron atoms, not oxidation.
  • (B) Liberation of H₂ from steam by iron at high temperature: In this reaction, iron is oxidized as it reacts with steam.
  • (C) Rusting of iron sheets: Rusting is a well-known oxidation process where iron reacts with oxygen and moisture.
  • (D) Decolourization of the blue CuSO₄ solution by iron: Here, iron displaces copper, indicating oxidation of iron.

Final Answer

The process that does not involve oxidation of iron is (A) Formation of Fe₅ from Fe.
