Rusting is always a chemical change because it is an irreversible change.

The iron nail gets oxidized due to the moisture and oxygen in the atmosphere and you can't get that nail back to its original form. An oxidation reaction is a chemical change.

The formation of rust on a car is a chemical change, not a physical change. It occurs when the metal reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air to form iron oxide. This process alters the chemical composition of the metal, making it different from its original state.
