YES!
The long answer:
there are four states of matter, in order of state.
1. gas(or vapor)
2. liquid
3. solid
4.Plasma
What is rust?
Rust is the breaking down of molecules and changing them from one type to another.
Not a change in state.
The process is called Oxidation, which is the removal of electrons from one atom and adding them to another. The result is a new material.
For example:
rust on steel is a ruddy brown material. the technical term is iron oxide.
this results from exposure to water, dihydrogen oxide.
the result is a change from steel to iron oxide.
this type is also considered a short chain molecule as it doesn't bind together into a larger structure.
Also note that the example is only one type of oxidation, almost all materials can oxidize, its just a matter of what the catalyst is.
and to the person who posted before me, grow up, the point of this site is to educate and learn, not defame and denigrate.

What else can I help you with?
Is rust a compound or an alloy?
Rust is not a compound or an alloy. It is a chemical compound called iron oxide that forms when iron reacts with oxygen and water. Rust is a red or brownish flaky substance that forms on iron or steel surfaces when they are exposed to moisture or humidity over time.
Which chemical agent is used frequently as a rust-preventive coating on steel and also used as an alloy treatment?
Zinc is frequently used as a rust-preventive coating on steel through processes like galvanization. It is also commonly used as an alloy treatment, such as in brass and bronze, to improve properties like corrosion resistance and strength.
What is a very hard metal with rust?
One example of a very hard metal that can also rust is stainless steel. Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy that contains a high percentage of chromium, which allows it to maintain its hardness while resisting rust and staining in various environments.
How long would it take for a small brass key to rust?
Brass is a corrosion-resistant alloy, so it does not rust like iron or steel. The key may develop a patina over time due to exposure to air and moisture, but this process is slow and would not be considered rust.
Which chemical agent is used frequently as a rust preventive coating on steel and also used as an alloy treatment?
Zinc is commonly used as a rust preventive coating on steel in the form of zinc plating or galvanization. It is also used as an alloy treatment in the form of zinc alloys, such as zinc-aluminum or zinc-copper alloys, to improve properties like strength and corrosion resistance.
How long does it take for earrings to rust in vinegar?
If they are an alloy, they will eventually rust.
What do scientist add to steel to prevent rust?
Steel is an iron alloy. When the alloy contains chromium and phosphorous it doesnot rust. Other metals may be added for improved strength and heat resistance.
Why is aluminum alloy used in aeroplanes?
Simply aluminium doesn't rust!!
Will a thinner object rust faster than a thicker object?
It'll rust away faster, but (assuming they're made from the same alloy) won't start to rust faster.
Why does mild steel need coating?
If it is not coated, it is exposed to the air (or whatever) and will rust.
Name the alloy used commonly which is acid proof and rust proof?
=stainless steel=
What chemicals will rust?
Iron, and mixtures containing iron (e.g. steel, an alloy of iron).
What alloy is used in aeroplane construction?
Most are made from aluminium because it is lightweight and does not rust.
Why is alluminum alloy a suitable material for the production of mountaineering poles?
it is strong and flexible and light also it does not rust
Does aluminium alloys rust?
Aluminium cannot rust; rusting only happens to iron. Secondly, aluminum corrosion is automatically prevented by the metal itself. It reacts with oxygen in the air to create a shell of aluminum oxide, which is hard yet flexible enough to protect the surface from further damage.
Is rust a compound or an alloy?
Rust is not a compound or an alloy. It is a chemical compound called iron oxide that forms when iron reacts with oxygen and water. Rust is a red or brownish flaky substance that forms on iron or steel surfaces when they are exposed to moisture or humidity over time.
What is stainless steel's ability to resist rust?
Stainless steel is a material that is the result of an alloy of chromium, iron, and carbon. The ability for stainless steel materials to resist rust is a chemical property.
