Rust contains iron, but not only iron. It also contains oxygen and water (which in turn consists of oxygen and hydrogen). Technically it is hydrated iron(III) oxide (once known as ferric oxide). The "hydrated" part means that water molecules are loosely bound to an array (lattice) of iron(III) ions and oxide ions.
