Rusting of a nail (usually iron) happens due to the reaction of the iron surface with water(moisture of surroundings) and oxygen(air).......Inside tapwater in the fridge there is too less amount of oxygen(1 of the reactants) available...So this reaction won't take place....and rust as a product wont be effectively formed....Therefore we can say that there is almost no rusting.....
