YES!
The long answer:
there are four states of matter, in order of state.
1. gas(or vapor)
2. liquid
3. solid
4.Plasma
What is rust?
Rust is the breaking down of molecules and changing them from one type to another.
Not a change in state.
The process is called Oxidation, which is the removal of electrons from one atom and adding them to another. The result is a new material.
For example:
rust on steel is a ruddy brown material. the technical term is iron oxide.
this results from exposure to water, dihydrogen oxide.
the result is a change from steel to iron oxide.
this type is also considered a short chain molecule as it doesn't bind together into a larger structure.
Also note that the example is only one type of oxidation, almost all materials can oxidize, its just a matter of what the catalyst is.
and to the person who posted before me, grow up, the point of this site is to educate and learn, not defame and denigrate.

Rust can refer to two things: The process of iron oxidation which is a process, not a structure, so it is not a molecule. The result of the oxidation: this is an ionic compound, and therefore not a molecule.

Cadmium

cadmium
Is rust a compound or an alloy?
Rust is the compound iron oxide, or Fe2O3.
Is aluminium rust proof?
Rusting is an oxidative process. Aluminum can be oxidized. However, a thin layer of aluminum oxide typically forms on the surface of the metal when exposed to air, which protects the underlying metal from oxidizing.
Why are alloys used instead of pure metals?
Because alloys often have better properties than their parent metals. Stronger, rust resistant etc
How long does it take for earrings to rust in vinegar?
If they are an alloy, they will eventually rust.
What do scientist add to steel to prevent rust?
Steel is an iron alloy. When the alloy contains chromium and phosphorous it doesnot rust. Other metals may be added for improved strength and heat resistance.
Why is aluminum alloy used in aeroplanes?
Simply aluminium doesn't rust!!
Will a thinner object rust faster than a thicker object?
It'll rust away faster, but (assuming they're made from the same alloy) won't start to rust faster.
Why does mild steel need coating?
If it is not coated, it is exposed to the air (or whatever) and will rust.
What alloy is used in aeroplane construction?
Most are made from aluminium because it is lightweight and does not rust.
What chemicals will rust?
Iron, and mixtures containing iron (e.g. steel, an alloy of iron).
Name the alloy used commonly which is acid proof and rust proof?
=stainless steel=
Does aluminium alloys rust?
Aluminium cannot rust; rusting only happens to iron. Secondly, aluminum corrosion is automatically prevented by the metal itself. It reacts with oxygen in the air to create a shell of aluminum oxide, which is hard yet flexible enough to protect the surface from further damage.
Why is alluminum alloy a suitable material for the production of mountaineering poles?
it is strong and flexible and light also it does not rust
