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.

Why rusting of iron is chemical change?
Yes. Iron corrodes because oxygen ions attach to iron atoms to make iron oxide
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.
Which of these is a chemical change copper melting or water freezing or iron rusting or gas condensing?
The only example of a chemical change in the list is iron rusting. The other three are all examples of physical changes.
What part of a rock will undergo rusting?
Rusting is a term adequate only for iron and iron alloys.
Does air rust iron?
Rusting is a chemical reaction - an oxydation; the essential factor for iron rusting is oxygen.
Rusting of steel is?
A good example of an oxidation reaction. The rusting of steel is essentially just rusting (oxidation) of iron.
Is rusting an example of corrosion?
Yes, it is the corrosion of iron.
Is rusting iron example of chemical change?
Yes, it is.
Is Rusting is an example of?
Rusting is the corrosion of iron. A redox reaction will occur and the iron will be oxidised by the oxygen and water surrounding it or any other strong oxidants.
Rusting is an example of what?
Rusting is the corrosion of iron. A redox reaction will occur and the iron will be oxidised by the oxygen and water surrounding it or any other strong oxidants.

Which one is a chemical change rusting of iron or melting of iron?
rusting of iron
How is bending different from iron rusting?
iron bending different from iron rusting
Why rusting of iron is chemical change?
Yes. Iron corrodes because oxygen ions attach to iron atoms to make iron oxide
Does rusting of iron is a reaction of iron and nitrogen?
Oxidation (rusting) of iron metal is the reaction of iron and oxygen
Is iron rusting in a charge of chemical?
No, iron rusting is oxidation process
What is the materials causing iron rusting?
Its the moisture which causes rusting of iron
