Rust is the common name for a very common compound, iron oxide. Iron oxide, the chemical Fe2O3, is common because iron combines very readily with oxygen, so readily, in fact, that pure iron is only rarely found in nature.
Iron (or steel) rusting is an example of corrosion, an electrochemical process involving an anode (a piece of metal that readily gives up electrons), an electrolyte (a liquid that helps electrons move) and a cathode (a piece of metal that readily accepts electrons). When a piece of metal corrodes, the electrolyte helps provide oxygen to the anode. As oxygen combines with the metal, electrons are liberated. When they flow through the electrolyte to the cathode, the metal of the anode is removed by the electrical flow or converted into metal cations in a form such as rust.

Rusting occurs when iron reacts with the oxygen in the air.

Does kill rust primer actually kill the rust?
Kill rust, or direct-to-rust primer and paints, do not actually "kill" the rust, they encapsulate the rust, preventing oxygen and moisture from contacting and spreading the rust. Unlike other paints, they are impervious to moisture and that helps to considerably slow the growth of rust.
