Oxidation is a chemical change. This is a chemical change because it has formed into a new substance and cannot change back! The chemical identity of the metal has been changed and will require some other change to change it back.

∙ 12y agoit can be both because sometime within the chemical change you can see a physical change.

Is rust an example of a physical change or a chemical change?
It is an example of chemical change which cannot be reversed. In this change, Iron oxidizes under the presence of oxygen and moisture. The reaction is called a reduction-oxidation, or redox, reaction.
What is a chemical change example of moldy cheese?
an example would be oxidation of the cheese
Which one is a chemical change distillation filtration oxidation and electrolysis?
There are two chemical changes in this series. Oxidation always involves chemical change. Electrolysis does too.
Milk goes sour a physical or chemical change?
It is a chemical change because there is a chemical reaction occurring that is rotting the milk. An example of a physical change would be if the milk was evaporated or frozen.
Reaction with oxygen is a physical or a chemical change?

Rusting of iron is an example of?
Oxidation.Rust is an example of an oxidation reaction between iron and oxygen. This is why a coat of oil on iron-containing metal prevents rust--the oil stops oxygen from reaching the metal's surface so that the oxidation reaction cannot take place.
What is a chemical change in oxygen?
Oxidation
