No, Mercury does not rust. Rust is the formation of iron oxide due to oxidation of iron, or any alloy containing iron. Other metals, such as aluminum and nickel will corrode and turn greenish. Since mercury is not a solid at room temperature, corrosion as defined doesnt really happen either. But just like alot of other elements, mercury does oxidize.
