Rust (oxidation of metal) is a chemical change but it is also a physical change in the strength of the material.
The rusting metal of the chain is chemical and the towel that is now wet is physical. The water is still water but the metal is now been oxidized.
Rusting is a chemical change.

Rusting is a chemical change.
Yes, the rusting of a bicycle is a chemical change because it involves the oxidation of the iron in the metal to form iron oxide (rust), which is a different chemical compound than the original metal. This process is irreversible.

Rusting is a chemical change, as steel/iron turns into iron oxide.

It's not the rusty bike it's the rusting of the bike. rust forms in a process called oxidation, or when iron comes in contact with oxygen. Also one reason you can tell it's a chemical change is when you can't reverse the process. Or when it involves changing the chemical compound.
Chemical - It's the iron atoms reacting with the oxygen atoms in the air. For future reference, a chemical change is irreversible, whereas a physical change can be reversed, usually quite easily.

A nail rusting is a chemical change.
The rusting of a bicycle left in the rain is a form of chemical weathering. When the metal in the bicycle reacts with oxygen and water, it forms iron oxide, which is rust.
