it is a chemical process, as rust is the chemical reaction of the oxidation of iron. rust, or iron oxide, is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the air. this can be prevented by either already reacting the iron with something like sulphur, or by coating the iron with a thin inert layer such as oil or plastic.

The process is called oxidation. And it's not a physical reaction it's a chemical one.
Is water boiling sugar dissolving or nails rusting a chemical reaction?
Water boiling is a physical process; also dissolving. Rusting is a chemical process (oxidation).
Is iron that rusts in moist a physical property chemical property physical change or a chemical change?
Rusting is a chemical process, an oxidation reaction.
Is rusting a chemical property or a chemical change?
Rust its self is a chemical change, but a chemical property for a car would be that it gets rusty over time.
Is rusting wheels of a bike chemical or physical?
Rusting is a chemical change.
Why is a car rusting a physical change?
no its chemical. physical changes is where the object chemical matter is not altered. ex- cuting a piece of paper is physical because you still have a piece of paper but burning the paper is chemical because a chemical change has taken place.

Is rusting a chemical property or a chemical change?
Rust its self is a chemical change, but a chemical property for a car would be that it gets rusty over time.
Is rusting a phsyical change?
Rusting is a chemical change because under it iron goes under oxidation and oxidation is a chemical process. Also, a physical change can be reversed but a chemical change cannot and rusting cannot be reversed. Hence also rusting is a chemical change.
