rust is chemically iron oxide.When it is under moisture(like in rainy season) and it comes in contact with oxygen it reacts with this oxygen to form iron oxide or rust.To prevent iron cmin in contact with oxygen it is painted and passed through processes like galvanization

∙ 10y agoRust happens when oxygen bonds to iron molecules. I guess you could put "tendency to bond with oxygen atoms" as the property that results in rust.

Actually, it's a chemical process, not a property.

Is the tendency of iron to rust physical or chemical?
Examples: Iron Rusting: CHEMICAL CHANGE The ABILITY for Iron to rust: Chemical PROPERTY Ice freezing: Physical CHANGE Water's ABILITY to evaporate: Physical PROPERTY
What is a chemical reaction melting ice rubbing a marker on paper burning a candle rusting iron?
Rusting iron is the chemical change.
Why rusting of iron is chemical change?
Yes. Iron corrodes because oxygen ions attach to iron atoms to make iron oxide
Does air rust iron?
Rusting is a chemical reaction - an oxydation; the essential factor for iron rusting is oxygen.
Is iron rust physical change or chemical change?
The process of iron rusting is a chemical change.
What chemical property is responsible iron rusting?
Rusting of iron is caused by water in the presence of oxygen.
Rusting of iron is a chemical property?
Yes.. it is chemical property of ferrum(iron). It react with oxygen to form rust (ferrus oxide)...
Is the rusting of iron a chemical property?
yes
Is the tendency of iron to rust physical or chemical?

Is chemical property involved when iron is coated with zinc to prevent if from rusting?
It is a chemical process.
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 a rust forming on an iron nail chemical or physical?
A nail rusting is a chemical change. The iron in the nail reacts with water and oxygen to produce rust, a compound with the chemical formula Fe3O2.nH2O.
Is the ability to rust a chemical property?
Rust is Iron Oxide which has accumlated on top of the iron. The top layer of the iron, when exposed to moisture or water, reacts with the oxygen in the air to form rust. Rust can also form when Iron is exposed to a strong oxidizer or acids. But rust is not a chemical property of iron, it's in fact a completely different compound which used to be iron before reacting with oxygen.
Which one is a chemical change rusting of iron or melting of iron?
rusting of iron
Can rusting iron nails be a chemical change?
Rusting of iron is chemical. It is the combination of oxygen with the iron, creating a different chemical: rust or iron oxide.
Is iron rusting physical or a chemical property?
Chemical. Something else is created as a result, and the composition does change, making it a chemical change.
Is iron rusting in a charge of chemical?
No, iron rusting is oxidation process
