Iron rusting is a chemical change.
It rusts. Check the "related links" if you are concerned for more information regarding the chemical reactions that take place and the different products formed when iron rusts.

No. Atoms cannot be destroyed by chemical processes. When iron rusts it bonds with oxygen to form iron oxide.
Iron does form chemical bonds, for example, when it rusts it is combining with oxygen.
Iron rusts in the presence of Oxygen.
Neither. Only iron rusts. Other metals oxidize.

Well, when iron rusts, it's oxidizing, which means that it's reacting with the oxygen in the air, which causes it to break down and form rust (Fe2O3).
"Rust" is a specific form of corrosion - where iron joins with oxygen. Therefore, the only thing that "rusts" in water is metal containing large amounts of iron, either "iron" or "steel." A lot of things will corrode, dissolve or otherwise deform if you put them in water.
No. Iron rusts but it is not biodegradable.
