  Rust is commonly referred to oxidation on iron, uncommonly to oxidation on other metals. Never to non-metals.

      Except you aren’t talking “frozen” hydrogen. You’re talking “molten” hydrogen.

      Even by your made up definitions, you’re wrong.

        I think hydrogen is arguably a metal but its 2/3 for not a metal depending on which definition you use.
