No. Atoms cannot be destroyed by chemical processes. When iron rusts it bonds with oxygen to form iron oxide.
false
The iron is reacting with other substances in the surrounding enviornment. This typically changes the iron atoms into molecules of iron oxide. Because the rust contains more atoms, the iron and now oxygen atoms, the mass of the nail increases.
Neither. Only iron rusts. Other metals oxidize.
iron
Iron rusts in the presence of Oxygen.
False, iron atoms are converted to iron oxide

Bonds are formed between some of the iron atoms in the nail and oxygen atoms from the air.
Neither. Only iron rusts. Other metals oxidize.

No. Iron rusts but it is not biodegradable.
When iron rusts, it is a chemical change. The substance that is produced (the rust) is a completely new substance. Therefore, the iron has changed chemically, and not just physically, like being melted into a different shape. It's chemical structure has been altered.

Iron rusts.
