Most likely, the iron nail is oxidizing. The iron in the nail would then be reacting with the oxygen in the air to form rust.

What is the process called when a metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
When metal enters a chemical reaction what is it called?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
How is a rusting a nail a chemical change?
Rust is a chemical reaction called oxide. When a nail rust, the chemical change is related to the reaction of the metal and oxygen.
The gradual wearing away of a metal due to a chemical reaction is called what?
Corrosion. This often involves a reaction with oxygen.
Is putting acid and metal together a chemical reaction or combustion?
chemical reaction
Is magnesium is a chemical reaction?
Magnesium is a chemical element, a solid metal not a reaction.
What will a metal become in a chemical reaction?
any type of metal
Is tarnishing of metal a physical or chemical change?
Yes. It is a reaction between the metal and oxygen.
Are a frozen pipe or a rusted metal bike a chemical energy?
A frozen pipe is a physical change, as it is just water changing state from liquid to solid (ice). However, a rusted metal bike is a chemical reaction as it is caused by the metal reacting with the oxygen in the air, in what is called an oxidation reaction.
Is corroding metal a chemical change?
Yes. When metal rusts the iron is changed into iron oxide. This type of change is called a redox reaction. The iron is oxidized, meaning is has lost electrons.
What are some examples of chemical activity?
when a metal can replace another metal in a chemical reaction - it is a chemically active metal
What is a reaction in a chemical reaction in science?
it is something that changes like rust on metal
