Rust would be a chemical change. Rust is often called oxidized iron because oxygen atoms combine with iron and turn red, just like the red blood cells in your blood stream. When the oxygen in your lungs meets the iron in your blood cells, or when the iron in a nail combines with oxygen in the air, you get that rusty red color.
