Rust formation is an oxidation reaction, which is a chemical change.


Is iron tendency to rust when exposed is exposed to oxygen and water chemical change?

First of all rust is formed when iron is exposed to both oxygen and water/ water vapopurs. The formula for rust is Fe203.xH20. Now the x varies which determines the extent to which rust is formed. Basically Rust is formed throughout the surface of the iron thus preventing rusting of the inner layers.


Is rust forming on an iron nail a chemical change?

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.


What will make iron rust?

Exposure to oxidizers will make iron rust. The most common source of an ozidizer is water, so long term exposure to water will cause rust. Direct exposure to oxidizers such as oxygen or iodine in the air will also do this. Salt absorbs water and so will cause iron to rust if in contact with it.


Why and how rust happened?

Rust is a general term for iron oxides. It is formed from the reaction of Iron and water.


Is rust an element?

Rust is an iron oxide compound. There are several different iron oxides that make up rust.


Rust is formed as a result of oxidation of which metal?

Rust is formed as a result of oxidation of iron (Fe) metal.


Why iron rust is chemical change?

The reason that rust is considered a chemical change is because the "connections" or the bonds of atoms are changed in the process. When atoms "rearrange themselves" by changing the "connections" or bonds to allow different compounds to be formed, as is the case with the formation of rust, a chemical change has taken place.


Is rust of iron a chemical change?

Oxygen reacts with the iron to make it rust.


What is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air?

Iron oxide, commonly known as rust, is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air through a chemical reaction. Rust has a reddish-brown color and weakens the structural integrity of iron over time.


Why is the change from iron to rust considered a chemical change?

The reason that rust is considered a chemical change is because the "connections" or the bonds of atoms are changed in the process. When atoms "rearrange themselves" by changing the "connections" or bonds to allow different compounds to be formed, as is the case with the formation of rust, a chemical change has taken place. In iron, the iron atoms are arranged in a metallic crystalline matrix. When rust occurs, oxygen bonds to the iron atoms (which where not chemically bonded to anything before) to create an oxide of iron.
