It is a chemical change. Oxygen in the air (and sometimes water vapor) combines with the iron to form oxides. The rust is a new chemical with very different properties: it has little strength, can be washed away, and is no longer attracted to a magnet.

When an iron nail rusts what is one product?
iron oxide
What changes occur when a nail rusts?
when a nail rusts it is because the nails are made of iron the rusts forms when the iron nail comes in contact with rain and oxygen at the same time which forms rust over time more water comes in contact with the nail and more rust is formed the word equation for this change: Iron+Water+Oxygen-->iron oxide(rust)+Hydrogen The chemical equation for this change 2Fe+H2O+O-->Fe2O3+H hope this helped
What is a physical change Milk becomes sour an iron nail rusts?
Both milk souring and iron rusting are chemical changes.
