iron
rust is another name for iron oxide, which occurs when iron or an alloy that contains iron, like steel, is exposed to oxygen and moisture for a long period of time. over time, the oxygen combines with the metal at an atomic level, forming a new compound called an oxide and weakening the bonds of the metal itself. although some people refer to rust generally as "oxidation", that term is much more general and describes a vast number of processes involving the loss of electrons or increased oxidation state, as part of a reaction. the best-known of these reactions involve oxygen, hence the name "oxidation". the terms "rust" and "rusting" only mean oxidation of iron and its resulting products. many other oxidation reactions exist which do not involve iron or produce rust. but only iron or alloys that contain iron can rust. however, other metals can corrode in similar ways.
