Why some metals do not rust is because they are less active. Look on the Periodic Table. The further a element is to the right of the table, the more reactive. That is why metals like gold will rust whereas some metal further to the right like Tin will not. It is also why we made alloys, a mixture of metals, where precious metals are mixed with nonreactive metals so to make an alloy which will not rust.
Bronze doesn't rust. It tarnishes as it corrodes. Iron is the only metal that will rust because that is its form of corrosion.

bronze rusts and supposedly takes 16 days to rust
Have you ever heard of Bar Keepers Friend? Good stuff
Because pure copper doesn't contain any iron and rust, by definition, is iron oxide.
Bronze is an alloy so it does not rust
It is a mixture of copper and tin.
Bronze corrodes.
No. Bronze doesn't rust.
Yes
The metals that do not rust or degrade outdoors are diamond plate, gold, iridium, and platinum. Other types of metals can rust or corrode differently.
no rust mostly happens to metals and diamonds are not metal
No, since rust is a chemical change (oxidation).
yes, some metals will rust in various ways and at different speeds. However only metals with iron in them will rust. Other metals will either oxidize or just remain the same. So the answer is partly yes, partly no. It depends what metal specifically.
In addition to rust, most metals can be destroyed by acid. Any metal can be destroyed by a sufficiently high temperature, which will melt or even vaporize the metal. Many metals will burn, and some dissolve in water (which is a separate process from rusting, although rust is also catalysed by water).
Metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish because rust and tarnish eat metals.
the metals that dont rust are gold, stainless steel and silver
Only metals containing iron rust. Other metals, over time, corrode.
Explosure to moist air will form rust on metals.
rust on a car
Metals A bike A swing set etc.

No not really, metals rust. However, rust can be considered metal decomposition (kind of).
Light and water and Oxygen. Metals which easily form oxides, especially when wet, will rust.
no rust mostly happens to metals and diamonds are not metal
No, not all metals rust. Rust itself is iron oxide and comes about when iron metal oxidises; therefore only Iron rusts.
I think that srtonger metals like gold do not rust. I also think that some metals, when combined with others do not rust, like when you combine iron with aluminum, it doesn't rust. By definition, the only metals that rust are iron and iron alloys. Even so, not all iron alloys rust. Stainless steel (an iron alloy) does not rust. Gold doesn't rust, in that it doesn't combine with oxygen from the atmosphere to form a surface of gold oxide. But it can tarnish, that is, for a thin transparent darker layer to form on the surface. however steel will rust. to protect a metal from rusting you must galvanzie it or paint. for example to galvanzie iron you must use a metal higher in the electrochemical series like zinc. this will protect it from rusting.
