What is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air?
Iron reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.
Is rust a mineral?
Rust occurs when iron and oxygen meet and the oxygen causes the iron to decay. Yes in a way, rust is the corroded metal iron.
What is a common name for iron oxide?

Can hydrogen and iron form rust?
