yes, a 100 percent pure metal can get corroded.

corrosion is a surface phenomena.

pure metals are likely to get corroded than the metals with some impurity.

for example, aluminum in its purest form (say 100 %) gets corroded easily but when aluminum is exposed to air it forms a thin layer of alumina which in turn prevents the inner layers to get corroded (now purity of aluminum has decreased, say 95%). hence corrosion has got its useful side too!
