If you use a abrasive to scrape the rust off, then it is a physical change. If you utilize a chemical that combines with the rust leaving the unoxidized penny behind, then it is a chemical change.

∙ 13y agoNo. It is a chemical change.
Though technically rusting is reserved for the oxidation of iron.
A better, more general term is corrosion.

Is copper turning green in the air physical change?
The reason that copper turns green is the same reason the metal rusts, oxidization. Both metal and copper oxidize when exposed to oxygen and this is a natural process. Copper that is exposed to the outside environment is more likely to turn green and that is why copper vases and decorative pieces in gardens are often green. Copper is a metal that does not react with water (H2O), but the oxygen of the air will react slowly at room temperature to form a layer of brown-black copper oxide on copper metal which looks like green sometimes...
