It is not a physical change because rust is no longer iron, but is iron oxide, a completely different substance.
Yes, rust forming on an iron nail is a chemical change. It involves the oxidation of iron in the presence of oxygen and water to form iron oxide (rust), which has different chemical properties than the original iron.
The oxygen in the water reacts with the metal in the nail - forming metal oxide (rust)
I am quite sure that rust is a chemical change. Rust is caused when oxygen atoms begin bonding with the iron in the nail, which makes it a compound instead of a pure element.
Rust (oxidation of metal) is a chemical change but it is also a physical change in the strength of the material.
because the chemical composition of the nail is changed, forming a new substance (the rust)
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.
Rust forming on an iron nail is a chemical reaction rather than a mixture. Rust is a compound made up of iron oxide that results from the reaction of iron with oxygen and water in the presence of air.
Rust forming on a nail is a chemical change. All the others are physical changes.
Rust is a chemical reaction called oxide. When a nail rust, the chemical change is related to the reaction of the metal and oxygen.
Yes, a rusting nail is an example of the chemical change oxidation.
Yes. Iron Oxide is forming.
You rust a nail in either salt water or in vingar that what makes a nail rust
