No, that wouldn't be decomposition since it's not breaking down. It's actually an example of oxidation. If a nail is iron or Fe(s) then a rusty nail would be Fe2O3 (Iron Oxide). I believe the balanced formula would look like this... 4Fe(s) + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3 If anybody sees any flaws in my logic, please feel free to correct. :)
Yes because the oxygen bonds with the iron in the nail and it makes rust.

If the top layer of your nail is falling apart, you might have a vitamin B deficiency. You could also lack minerals that make your fingernails strong. You might also be having a reaction to a chemical that you touched.
2H2O2-->2H2O+O2 Hydrogen peroxide-->water + oxygen
This is probably an example of the sort of ambiguity which is the reason 'physical' and 'chemical' changes tend not to be mentioned outside of early science education. The exact physical make-up of the solute (nail polish) is not changed, but chemical bonds are both broken and made in this process (various intermolecular bonds). The reaction is reversible, but then, all chemical reactions are reversible, but require extra energy put into the system to reduce the entropy. Probably the best approximation would be to say it is a physical change, since all/most of the molecules involved are structurally unchanged.
iron(Fe) being more reactive than Copper(Cu) displaces Cu from copper sulphate (CuSO4). Thus, the following equation is derived:Fe + CuSO4 -----> FeSO4 + CuOBSERVATIONS-1. reddish-brown deposit on the surface of nail2. surface of the nail is found corroded3. the blue solution turns light green
Rusting is oxidation, a chemical reaction.
the nail will rust in water or any other substance that it is in by a chemical reaction
no, rust is not a disease, rust is a chemical reaction that occurs when iron reacts with water and air
A rusting nail is the oxidation of iron, in which the iron in the nail and the oxygen in the air react to form a new substance, iron oxide, with different properties from the iron and the oxygen.

rusting of nails is a chemical reaction. iron combines with oxygen to form iron oxide which is rust. water/water vapour acts as a catalysthere.
Rust is a chemical reaction called oxide. When a nail rust, the chemical change is related to the reaction of the metal and oxygen.
a nail rusts

Rusty is not an adverb (a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb). Rusty is an adjective (a word that describes a noun). Example: rusty nail.
because its a chemical reaction
