When a metal corrodes, it reacts with a chemical in the environment to produce a new substance. Often the metal reacts with oxygen to form a metal oxide. A well-known example is iron reacting with oxygen to form iron oxide, known as rust.

∙ 11y agocorrosion of metals is a chemical reaction between metal and oxygen in atmosphere.
Oxidation of metals called corrosion. It affects the physical properties of metal in either way like rusting, colour change, life cycle shortening etc.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo it is a chemical change. It is the oxidation reaction occurring with the metal and the oxygen in the environment.
No, it is a chemical change
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo, the corrosion of iron is not a physical change. It is a chemical change because iron is reacting chemically with oxygen causing it to corrode.

Is a bike rusting in the rain chemical change?
The clouds are the gas form of water. The chemical change is from gas to liquid when it rains.
Why do metals corrode at different rates?
Because eaqch metal has specific chemical properties.
Will a metal corrode when it's left exposed to the environment and is attacked by a nonmetalic chemical?
Yes.
Is burning a fire a physical or chemical change?
Burning is a chemical change.
What type of change when a substance changes into a new substance?
chemical
Is corrode a physical or chemical process?
Corroding a substance would be a chemical change because it alters the composition of the material being corroded.
Is Corrode physical or chemical?
chemical
Is the ability to corrode a chemical property?

Does a chemical reactions take place when marbles corrode?
Yes. Corrosion is a chemical reaction
One of the chemical properties of acids is that they corrode metal?
True-I believe.
Is a bike rusting in the rain chemical change?

Why do copper pipes carry hot water corrode faster than pipes that carry cold water?
Heat speeds up chemical reactions. As corrosion is a chemical reaction, copper pipes at a higher temperature will corrode faster
Why do metals corrode at different rates?

How do you spell carrode?
The correct spelling is "corrode" (to be worn away by chemical action, to rust).
Will a metal corrode when it's left exposed to the environment and is attacked by a nonmetalic chemical?
Yes.
Do different metals corrode at different rates?
