One water molecule is formed from 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Rust is a chemical compound of iron and oxygen. When the nail is put in the water, a chemical reaction begins. If you have 1 iron atom and 1 water molecule, then the water molecule comes apart into one molecule of hydrogen, witch forms the bubbles and one ion(a highly reactive atom) of oxygen. Then the oxygen ion reacts with the iron atom and forms a rust molecule.

What type of nails rust?
metal nails rust ANSWER: Iron nails do.
Will nails rust in water?
Nails do not rust in water. Nails only rust in water if oxygen is present. This is because the iron in nails react with oxygen and water to form a compound called hydrated iron(III) oxide.
Why do you get nails?
Nails made from Iron will try to return to a simpler state such as Iron Oxide or rust
What rust nails?
Oxidisation of the iron compound
Are iron nails bio degradable or not?
No. They rust.
Facts about nails that rust?
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.
How does tap water rust iron nails?
Tap water contains dissolved oxygen and other minerals that can accelerate the rusting process of iron nails. When iron is exposed to water and oxygen, a chemical reaction occurs called corrosion, leading to the formation of iron oxide (rust) on the surface of the nails.
How does iron rust and which types of nails rust faster in oxygen?
a nail that is made from steel
What would happen when iron nails are kept in hot water?
rust, lots of rust.
Why do dry nails not rust?
Rusting of iron needs the presence of water.
Do they make rust resistant nails?
Galvanized dont rust. They are coated with zinc to keep the oxygen reacting with the iron in most steel.
What are in iron nails?
Iron nails are mild steel. They are mainly iron with a little carbon and manganese or possibly other trace elements. They will still rust but are quite strong.
