Iron in the presence of oxygen and water, or air moisture, will combine to form Iron Oxide or it more common name rust. But Iron can also combine with chlorine in an oxygen free environment such as re-bars (reinforced concrete post) to form a green rust called Fougerite.

rust is a chemical change it happens when weather is changing. rust jhappens when oxygen and water hit it
What metals do not rust or degrade outdoors?

Conditions that cause rusting?
the presence of oxygen is the main condition that causes rust. however, many other substances can cause rust such as salt and water, lemon juice and coca-cola as well!
Does rust happen faster in cold or hot temperatures?
no probably because water and air combine to make rust
Will metals rust faster in acids or water?
acid
What is the effects of acid rain on metals?
It causes the matals to rust faster.
Why do metals closer to the sea rust faster?
The sea air has moisture in it, causing the metal to corrode faster.
Does tap water or salt water cause metals to rust faster and why?
Most likely salt water. The salt accelerates the rate of corrosion, plus it has the oxygen needed for the metal to rust. Tap water has the oxygen too but with the salt also, it would cause the metal to rust more rapidly.
Why do metals rust more in saltwater?
Yes, saltwater is corrosive for Iron and will cause Iron to rust.
Which rusts faster - sterling silver or bronze?

How you keep away your laptop from rust?
Keep it away from muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid). The acid fumes form muriatic can cause metals to rust faster. My dad has a business that uses muriatic acid for cleaning. The smoke from it, can develop rust on metals immediately on the following day. Heat produced by laptop makes rusting even faster... You don't need to apply the acid to form rust. Using the laptop in a room with acid fumes is enough..
What would be a good way to displaythe results of the ''what causes metals to rust faster''?

Does a nail rust faster when the air is damp or dry?
it rusts faster when it is damp cause the moisture of the damp and oxygen when they meet they create rust
What added factors can cause iron to rust faster?
water
Would metals rust faster when they are submurged in salt water?
Yes, it is true; the ion chloride is corrosive.
Why do some everyday substances remove rust from metals?
because like in lemon juice there is an acid that eats through the hardest of metals over time
