Does carbon rust?
The term "rust" technically applies only to iron oxides and its variations, so the element carbon cannot rust.
Can glass rust?
No, glass cannot rust because it is not a metal. Rusting is a chemical reaction that occurs in metals when they are exposed to oxygen and water, causing them to corrode. Glass is made of sand and does not contain metal elements that can rust.
Does nylon rust?

Can the element mercury rust?
Mercury cannot rust because rust is a term specifically used for the oxidation of iron, resulting in iron oxide, commonly known as rust. Mercury is a liquid metal and does not undergo the same oxidation processes as iron. While mercury can react with certain substances, it does not form rust in the traditional sense.
Can viruses or insects live in rust?
No, viruses and insects cannot live in rust because rust is a type of corrosion that occurs on metals, particularly iron and steel, when exposed to oxygen and moisture. Viruses require a living host to replicate, while insects have specific habitat and food requirements that are not met by rust.
Can glass rust if outside?
No, glass cannot rust because it is not made of iron or steel like materials that can rust. Glass is mainly made of sand, soda ash, and limestone, which do not rust. However, exposure to certain chemicals or environmental factors can cause glass to deteriorate or degrade over time.
Can a copper IUD rust?
Copper IUDs cannot rust because they are made of copper, which does not rust. However, they may develop a greenish patina over time due to oxidation, which is normal and does not affect the effectiveness of the IUD.
