iron nail
hammering a nail is a physical change, this is because the nail changes shape from being long to being short and in a board for example.
A nail rusting is a chemical change. The chemical formula of the metal completely changes, adding oxygen to the formula. Iron changes from Fe to FeO2 , or to Fe2O3
Because the Iron in the nail is no longer just iron but oxidation plus iron, a physical change to the nail would be to cut it in-half.
Because you can't 'unrust' a nail

The water and the air makes a chemical change to the nail to make it rust
Yes, a rusting nail is an example of the chemical change oxidation.
Rusting is always a chemical change because it is an irreversible change. The iron nail gets oxidized due to the moisture and oxygen in the atmosphere and you can't get that nail back to its original form. An oxidation reaction is a chemical change.
That's a physical change. Assuming the nail is made of iron (Fe), when you bend it, you simply change its shape. You don't change the fact that it's still iron.
It is a chemical change
