Is metal still a metal after it rusts?
There is only one metal that rusts and that is iron and its alloys such as steel. All other metals corrode. No, iron is not iron after it rusts. It is now called iron oxide and will disintegrate if left unchecked . That is why we paint our gates with Blackstar Rust Converter and most electronics are coated with gold or a green varnish to prevent reaction with the air.

Which metal rusts first copper or iron?
Neither. Only iron rusts. Other metals oxidize.

Iron atoms are destroyed When iron rusts?
No. Atoms cannot be destroyed by chemical processes. When iron rusts it bonds with oxygen to form iron oxide.
What is the difference between gold ore and iron ore. Why can we see small pieces of yellow metal in gold ore but no iron metal in iron ore?
gold is very resistant to corrosion so a significant fraction of gold ore is pure gold metal. iron corrodes very easily so iron ore is always mostly a mix of iron oxides (i.e. rusts).
