    It rusts. Rust is.formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. Oxidization.

    Really depends ….if it’s bare metal …yep it will do what the others have stated.
    If it’s protected as many metal lawn chairs are with plastic coat power coat or regular paint ……nothing
    not for a long, long time

    It depends on what kind of metal the chair is made of. If it is a throne of gold or platinum probably not much. If it is iron it would rust & eventually disintegrate. Aluminium or magnesium would probably form an oxide coating and disintegrate much more slowly. A little chair carved of metallic sodium or potassium would spontaneously combust. Other factors to consider are the ph of the water (acid rain) and pollutants in the air which may cause other effects.

    Oh trust me it’s in there. It’s this thing called "rust". It oxides. Seriously, just look up the definition of Rust and you’ll have your full answer.
