The reactants are iron, oxygen and water. The products are hydrated iron (III) oxides and iron (III) oxide-hydroxide. You might wish to see the wikipedia article about rust for more information.
reactants: iron and oxygen products: rust (aka: iron (II) oxide or FeO)
Iron is the transition metal that rusts when exposed to oxygen, forming iron oxide.
Before the reaction, the reactants would be iron and sulfur. After the reaction, the products would be iron sulfide. The difference between the reactants and products is the chemical composition and properties of the substances involved.
The reducing agent when iron rusts is the iron itself. Iron atoms lose electrons to oxygen atoms in the presence of water and oxygen gas, leading to the formation of iron oxide (rust).
False. When iron rusts, iron atoms are not destroyed. Instead, iron atoms combine with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide (rust), which causes the iron to corrode.
Reactants: -iron -oxygen Products: -rust

Reactants: iron an oxygen Product: iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3
It rusts. Check the "related links" if you are concerned for more information regarding the chemical reactions that take place and the different products formed when iron rusts.

No. Iron rusts but it is not biodegradable.
When iron gets wet or comes into contact with water, it is likely to rust. However, some iron products are coated with substances that help prevent rust.
Iron rusts.
