The rust is basic in nature when compared to other oxides. It is formed due to the occurrence of the oxygen salt of iron.
The material so formed is insoluble in water. Rust is a metal oxide created from iron; therefore it has the central atom that is more electropositive.
As a result, it is more basic than the non metal oxides such as N20.

Answer: Rust is basic in nature. This is because when you take a spoonful of rust and dissolve it in a small amount of water, you get iron oxide in water. Test this solution. You will find out that red litmus paper turns blue. This shows that iron oxide (rust) is basic in nature.
