The term "rust" technically applies only to iron oxides and its variations, so the element carbon cannot rust.
Water is an oxide of hydrogen. Carbon dioxide is an oxide of carbon. Rust is an oxide of iron.
no rust mostly happens to metals and diamonds are not metal
Oh, dude, diamonds can't rust. They're like the divas of the mineral world, all shiny and resistant to that whole rusting thing. If diamonds could rust, that would be one expensive problem to have. So, no worries about your bling getting all rusty, it's safe and sound.
Rust, chemically known as iron oxide, is not considered a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Rust forms when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water.
1) Iron rust to create iron oxide (ochre or FeOOH I think). I think carbon cannot oxidise, because it is nota metal, but it can join a metal and then it oxidises I think.2) Rusting is the common term for corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Carbon doesn't rust but could eventually oxidize if exposed to extremely high degrees of heat (above 500 degrees).
No.
no because of the carbon dioxide, it is impossible to rust
Yes, mild carbon steels are very prone to rust.
No, graphite does not rust because it is a form of carbon and does not contain iron, which is necessary for rust to form. Graphite is a stable material that is not prone to oxidation like iron or steel.

The cause of iron rust is oxygen and water.
Rust is iron oxide. So when iron oxidizes you get rust. So iron and steel (iron and carbon) are prone to this happening while metal like aluminum well not rust.
Let's call rusting "oxidation," because rust is oxidized iron. Carbon will oxidize, but it takes quite a bit of heat to get it to do so; the easiest way to oxidize carbon is to set it on fire and let it become carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Putting carbon in water won't cause the oxidation reaction to happen, because there's not enough heat.
No. It is red because of all the rust and carbon on it's surface: The rust makes it appear red.
If rust is a compound at all, it is an inorganic compound (Fe2O3), because contains has no carbon and is not a derivative of a hydrocarbon.
Technically it does not rust, as that phenomenon only occurs with iron. In a moist environment, carbon dioxide and oxygen will react with the copper surface of a penny to form copper I carbonate.
