Nails rust when exposed to moisture and oxygen, as the iron in the nail reacts with the oxygen in the air to form iron oxide. Rust weakens the nail, making it more prone to breaking or bending. It is important to use rust-resistant coatings or materials like galvanized or stainless steel nails for outdoor or wet environments to prevent rusting.
