Fire is the oxidation of carbon in the form of wood or coal and is an exothermic reaction (releases heat). Rusting is the oxidation of iron which is also an exothermic reaction releasing small amounts of heat but to be considered burning it must be an intense heat. The reaction between oxygen and iron is too slow and releases its heat over too long a period of time but that is an interesting way to think about the reaction. That is similar to asking if H2O is a rusty H2 molecule.

What is an example of a physical change tarnishing rusting burning or melting?
Melting is an example of a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the substance undergoing the change. Tarnishing, rusting, and burning are examples of chemical change because they are caused by chemical reactions, which change the chemical composition of the substances undergoing the change.
Why the rusting of an iron pole is not physical change?
The rusting of an iron pole is a chemical change. An example of a chemical change would be crumbling a piece of paper. When you are crumbling this piece of paper, the contents of the paper have not change and you are able to uncrumble the paper there is no difference except the paper has wrinkles. :) However in an example of chemical change like a metal rusting, you cannot un-rust it, it was chemically changed. Another example of a chemical change would be burning a piece of paper to ashes.
What type of change such as burning or rusting in which the identity of the substance changes?
a chemical change
Is rusting iron example of chemical change?
Yes, it is.
Burning rusting tarnishing bubbling?
Burning, rusting, tarnishing, and bubbling are all chemical processes that indicate changes in materials. Burning is a rapid oxidation reaction that produces heat and light. Rusting is the corrosion of iron, resulting from its reaction with oxygen and moisture, forming iron oxide. Tarnishing involves the oxidation of metals like silver, leading to a dull appearance, while bubbling typically indicates a gas being released during a chemical reaction, such as when acid reacts with a carbonate.

What are chemical changes in matter?
rusting, burning, polymerizing,
What example is rusting?
i
Is rusting an example of physical or chemical change?
Rusting is the oxidation of a metal and is an example of a chemical change.
How is burning a paper and the rusting of iron alike?
Both are examples of oxidation.
Is rusting and burning alike?
Both processes require Oxygen. Rusting (I think) is where metal reacts with oxygen and moisture and becomes oxidises. Burning or combustion, ALWAYS needs Oxygen to occur. Hope this helps!

Rusting of steel is?
A good example of an oxidation reaction. The rusting of steel is essentially just rusting (oxidation) of iron.
One difference between rusting and burning?
Rusting is a slow chemical reaction between iron and oxygen, forming iron oxide (rust), while burning is a rapid chemical reaction between a substance and oxygen, releasing heat and usually producing light and smoke. Rusting occurs at a much slower pace compared to burning.

What are three examples for chemical change?
Burning, rusting, and production of gas are examples of chemical changes.
How rusting and burning are different?
They are different because when you are rusting you are not causing a chemical change. When you are burning something you are causing a chemical changer. FOR EXAMPLE: LETS SAY YOU ARE A GIRL SCOUT AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SM-ORES YOU WILL HAVE TO GET WOOD AND LIT A MATCH SO YOU WILL HAVE SUPPORT TOO MAKE A FIRE AND SM-ORES CREATING A CHEMICAL CHANGE.
