Yes, and the product is common rust. When iron is exposed to oxygen, it combines with it to form iron oxides, the most common of which is red iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3. This is the corrosion present on any iron object you see. The other commonly encountered form is black iron (II, III) oxide, Fe3O4, better known as magnetite.

Iron bonds with lots of things: Oxygen (Ferric Oxide = rust), Chlorine (Ferric Chloride]), Fluorine, ... , even other Iron (in a Metallic Bond or crystal). Many more things.
