The process in which metal rusts is called oxidation. This happens usually when water is present and the oxygen can bond with the metal releasing hydrogen into the air.

What chemical weathering process is caused by oxygen and water acting on iron?
The process is called rusting.
Can the process of rusting be called combustion?
No; it is not combustion because in combustion substance react with oxygen first but in rusting the substance react with hydrogen first
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 of iron a combustion process?
No. Combustion is where something burns. Rusting is an example of oxidisation. ------------------ Yes, rusting is an example of slow combustion. And yes it is an oxidation reaction too, as Combustion is an oxidation reaction with an evolution of heat and/or light. In rudting there is: 1. Relase of energy. 2. Oxidation Hence, rusting is considered an oxidation reaction.
Can the process of rusting be called rusting?
Yes, it is correct.
What is the process rusting called?
Oxidation
What is the process called for the combining of metal with oxygen?
Rusting
What elements undergoes rusting?
Most of the metals will oxidize, but the only one for which that process is called "rusting" is iron.

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).
What chemical weathering process is caused by oxygen and water acting on iron?
The process is called rusting.
When iron rusts is it the result of a physical change?
The process is called oxidation. And it's not a physical reaction it's a chemical one.
When rusting of iron take plce?
When Iron became in contact with water and oxygen or other strong oxidants or acids the rusting took place. The rusting is an electrochemical process which started with the transfer of electrons form iron to oxygen. If salt is present then it also accelerate the rusting process.
Is rusting an irreversible cause?
Rusting is an irreversible process.
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.
What are facts about rusting?
There are many facts about rusting including the fact that it is a chemical process. Oxygen is also involved in this process.
