It all has to do with rate of oxidisation; what we call burning is a very rapid chemical reaction, the faster it is, the more heat it releases in a certain amount of time. by baby girl23 and friend

Why the rusting of an iron pole is not physical change?

The rusting of an iron pole is a chemical change. An example of a chemical change would be crumbling a piece of paper. When you are crumbling this piece of paper, the contents of the paper have not change and you are able to uncrumble the paper there is no difference except the paper has wrinkles. :) However in an example of chemical change like a metal rusting, you cannot un-rust it, it was chemically changed. Another example of a chemical change would be burning a piece of paper to ashes.
