How can you turn metal into rust?

Metal turns into rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture over time, a process known as oxidation. The oxygen in the air reacts with the metal's atoms to form a new compound, which appears as reddish-brown iron oxide, or rust. This process can be sped up by increasing the metal's exposure to water and oxygen.


Is a rusty nail metallic?

Yes - the steel under the rust is a metal (steel is iron with a trace of the non-metal, carbon), while the rust is iron oxide.


What conditions make rust possible?

Rusting of iron is a chemical process, an oxydation reaction.


Is metal still a metal after it rusts?

There is only one metal that rusts and that is iron and its alloys such as steel. All other metals corrode. No, iron is not iron after it rusts. It is now called iron oxide and will disintegrate if left unchecked . That is why we paint our gates with Blackstar Rust Converter and most electronics are coated with gold or a green varnish to prevent reaction with the air.


Can metal rust in space, where there is no atmosphere to facilitate the oxidation process?

Yes, metal can still rust in space due to the presence of oxygen atoms that can react with the metal's surface, even in the absence of a traditional atmosphere.

How do you test if a metal is a compound?

A metal cannot be a compound, or it would not be a metal. However, if a metal combines with something (e.g. iron combines with oxygen to form rust) it is no longer a metal (rust is not a metal - although it contains a metallic atom).You can, however, have a mixture of metals, e.g. pewter or solder or brass. But these are still metals, not compounds of them.


What happen when iron react with oxygen and water?

When iron reacts with oxygen and water, the chemical reaction that forms is known as rust. This is considered to be corrosive for most metal elements.
