Lead and tin corrode slowly because they readily form a protective oxide layer on their surface when exposed to air. This oxide layer acts as a barrier, preventing further oxidation and corrosion of the underlying metal. Additionally, their low reactivity makes them less susceptible to corrosion compared to other metals.
Lead does corrode but it certainly does not corrode as easily as iron or steel. For example in electrolysis when you put metal in the water the bubbles start to form hydrogen and oxygen, this corrodes the metal. But lead will not corrode that easily in this process. Lead may corroded by sulfuric acid; but generally lead is very resistant to corrosion.
Yes, tin will go corrode and go rusty if left to the elements.
Slowly, because the zinc galvanizing coating must corrode away almost completely before the iron can begin corroding.
Metals that corrode in salt water easily include iron and tin.
Zinc was often confused with lead and tin due to their similar appearances. However, zinc has a higher melting point than lead and tin, and it does not oxidize easily like lead and tin.
White metal: "Any of various whitish alloys, such as pewter, that contain high percentages of tin or lead." Yes, but very slowly. Tin and lead and pewter do not corrode easily. Also, the rate would decrease over time, as a layer of oxide would coat the surface preventing further corrosion.
Oxygen and moisture
No, tin does not contain lead. Tin is a separate element from lead and does not naturally contain lead in its composition.

Tin and lead makes pewter
Yes, tin will go corrode and go rusty if left to the elements.

No, lead does not react with tin nitrate under normal conditions. Lead is a less reactive metal and is unlikely to displace tin in a compound like tin nitrate.

Metals that corrode in salt water easily include iron and tin.
Tin actually will corrode. It is not actually all that resistant to corrosion. It is, however, less susceptible to corrosion than iron. That may be where the myth that it doesn't rust comes from.
Zinc was often confused with lead and tin due to their similar appearances. However, zinc has a higher melting point than lead and tin, and it does not oxidize easily like lead and tin.
