Yes, magnetism is a property of iron. Unfortunately, I cannot explain the physics behind it (yet). However, it has to do with electron pairing and whatnot...there are good sites regarding magnetism that could help you with that.

Rusting of iron is a chemical property?

Yes.. it is chemical property of ferrum(iron). It react with oxygen to form rust (ferrus oxide)...


Is magnetization of iron a chemical reaction?

No, magnetization is not a chemical reaction. Magnetic iron and non-magnetic iron are chemically the same substance. Magnetization is a process of alignment of atomic magnetic fields, which is a purely physical change, not a chemical change.


A special property of pyrrhotite is that it is a natural what that attracts iron?

Pyrrhotite is a magnetic mineral that naturally attracts iron due to its magnetic properties. This makes it useful in applications where magnetic properties are desirable, such as in compasses or magnetic storage devices.


Is the ability to rust a chemical property?

Rust is Iron Oxide which has accumlated on top of the iron. The top layer of the iron, when exposed to moisture or water, reacts with the oxygen in the air to form rust. Rust can also form when Iron is exposed to a strong oxidizer or acids. But rust is not a chemical property of iron, it's in fact a completely different compound which used to be iron before reacting with oxygen.


Is rusting a chemical or physical property?

Rusting is a chemical property because it is irreversible. It changes the identity of the substance.


What are the chemical propertis of iron?

The ability to react with oxygen, which forms rust is a chemical property of iron.
