Rusting is also called as the process of slow eating of metals. It takes place in various metals and has no fixed composition. Basically, it is the reaction of some gas and the moisture in the atmosphere with the metal which leads to rusting.
Commonly we relate rusting with iron which reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere
and forms iron oxide. Also, silver rusts too leading to its black colour.

Is the rust of an iron nail a compound?
Iron (Not rusted) is an element. However, when iron is in contact with air and water, rust will form on its surface. Rust is an oxide of iron and rust is a compound. Since rust is red/brown in colour it means that the iron has been oxidised to oxidation state '3'. , by the action of water and air. The chemical symbol form iron is Fe (Ferrum - Latin) The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3 (Ferric oxide). There are other oxides of iron . They are FeO (ferrous oxide = green in colour) and Fe3O4 ( magnetite - grey/black in colour)
