when a nail rusts it is because the nails are made of iron
the rusts forms when the iron nail comes in contact with rain and oxygen at the same time which forms rust over time more water comes in contact with the nail and more rust is formed
the word equation for this change:
Iron+Water+Oxygen-->iron oxide(rust)+Hydrogen
The chemical equation for this change
2Fe+H2O+O-->Fe2O3+H
hope this helped
