it forms iron oxide, and it can/should form rust
It is a redox reaction, which forms iron oxide, more commonly known as rust.
This is an known as an oxidation reaction in which oxygen binds to the iron atoms to form iron oxide.
This reaction is called reduction.

Physical Weathering
The chemical process is called rusting. It occurs when iron (or iron containing metals) reacts with oxygen and in the presence of water to form rust. It is a redox reaction; iron is oxidised and oxygen (gas) is reduced in this process.
Rusting is the reaction of iron with oxygen in the presence of water.
Rusting is a chemical reaction - a reaction with oxygen (oxidation). Fe + O2 + H2O------------------ Fe2O3·nH2O + (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3)
Reactants: iron an oxygen Product: iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3
Iron reacts with oxygen to produce iron oxide.
When iron mixes with oxygen, it causes iron oxide, commonly known as rust. Therefore it causes the rock to "rust".

Oxidation (rusting) of iron metal is the reaction of iron and oxygen
The chemical process is called rusting. It occurs when iron (or iron containing metals) reacts with oxygen and in the presence of water to form rust. It is a redox reaction; iron is oxidised and oxygen (gas) is reduced in this process.
Rusting of iron is a chemical reaction of oxydation (reaction with oxygen).
the reaction between iron metal and oxygen gas making solid iron oxide
The formation of iron oxides is caused by chemical reaction of iron and oxygen. Note, it is not rusting; rusting also requires the presence of water.
Iron is a reactant because it cannot be made by a chemical reaction. Iron can react with Sulphur. Iron plus Sulphur plus haet + iron sulphide. Any way iron actually came from a metiorite. The iron that formed in earth is too deep.
Iron + Oxygen= Iron oxideChemical Equation4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3No Problem! :)
Rusting is a chemical reaction because it is irreversible. Rust or iron oxide is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in water.
Rusting is the reaction of iron with oxygen in the presence of water.
