No, not all metals rust. Rust itself is iron oxide and comes about when iron metal oxidises; therefore only Iron rusts.

Do all metals rust?
Only metals containing iron rust. Other metals, over time, corrode.
Does all metals decompose?
No not really, metals rust. However, rust can be considered metal decomposition (kind of).
What are all the pure metals?
elements
Why are alloys used instead of pure metals?
Because alloys often have better properties than their parent metals. Stronger, rust resistant etc
Why do metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish?
Metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish because rust and tarnish eat metals.
How did water rust the fastest?
Because the particles in the water wich is a pure subtance, is pure with interacts with metals. and such things as orange juice, coke, or mily is not a pure substance. so when a nail reacts with one of those liquids, they are not pure so..., it will react slower. Hope this helpddd :)
Why do some metals not rust?
Why some metals do not rust is because they are less active. Look on the Periodic table. The further a element is to the right of the table, the more reactive. That is why metals like gold will rust whereas some metal further to the right like Tin will not. It is also why we made alloys, a mixture of metals, where precious metals are mixed with nonreactive metals so to make an alloy which will not rust.
What metals dont rust?
the metals that dont rust are gold, stainless steel and silver
What air that gives rust to metals?
Explosure to moist air will form rust on metals.
What metals are elements?
All pure metals are chemical elements; alloys are not elements.
What metals do not rust or degrade outdoors?
The metals that do not rust or degrade outdoors are diamond plate, gold, iridium, and platinum. Other types of metals can rust or corrode differently.
Why are alloys more resistant to corrosion than pure metals?
They are not always. Pure metals like gold never rust. Aluminum is also very corrosion resistant and its alloys not necessarily more so. Chromium is another metal that is extremely corrosion resistant and is alloyed with Iron and carbon to make a type of stainless steel.
