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.
Stainless steel, aluminum, and copper are metals that do not rust or degrade easily outdoors. These metals have natural properties that provide corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use in various environments.
Iron and steel are the metals that rust the fastest due to their high reactivity with oxygen in the presence of water. Other metals like aluminum can also rust quickly depending on the conditions, but iron and steel are generally more prone to corrosion.
US dimes can't rust, but some Canadian dimes can. Rust affects ferrous metals like iron and steel. US dimes are made of copper and nickel, but recent Canadian dimes have been made of plated steel. If the plating is damaged the underlying steel can rust.
Rust is also known as an object becoming oxidated, this means it gains oxygen. A normal iron atom when left in the atmosphere will rust and gain oxygen FeO this means when things rust they gain weight.
Ferrous metals rust when they are exposed to oxygen and moisture, causing a chemical reaction that forms iron oxide, also known as rust. This process is accelerated in the presence of salt or acidic environments. Rust weakens the metal and can lead to structural damage if not treated.
Only metals containing iron rust. Other metals, over time, corrode.
Explosure to moist air will form rust on metals.

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, not all metals rust. Rust itself is iron oxide and comes about when iron metal oxidises; therefore only Iron rusts.
Stainless steel, aluminum, and copper are metals that do not rust or degrade easily outdoors. These metals have natural properties that provide corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor use in various environments.
No. Iron or metals containing iron rust, but not bodies.
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.
Metals such as gold, platinum, and silver are highly resistant to rusting because they do not easily react with oxygen in the air. Stainless steel, which contains chromium, is also known for its rust-resistant properties.
The group of metals that attract a magnet and can rust is commonly referred to as ferrous metals. This category includes iron and its alloys, such as steel, which are magnetic and prone to oxidation when exposed to moisture and oxygen, resulting in rust. Non-ferrous metals, on the other hand, do not have these properties.
