Iron rusts because it is oxidized by oxygen in the air. This occurs because of the relative oxidation/reduction potentials of iron and oxygen.
Rusting of iron is a chemical change because it involves a reaction with oxygen to form iron oxide. Melting of iron is a physical change because it does not involve a change in the chemical composition of the iron.
Yes. Iron rusting is a chemical change. Rust is no longer iron, but is iron oxide, therefore a chemical reaction has occurred.
No. Rusting is a chemical change.
Yes, it is.
Iron rusting is a chemical change.
Rusting of iron is a chemical change because it involves a reaction with oxygen to form iron oxide. Melting of iron is a physical change because it does not involve a change in the chemical composition of the iron.
Because the rusting of iron is based on a chemical change, a reaction of oxydation.
Oxidisation, which is when the moisture in Oxygen comes into contact with the metal.

Chemical change
A car Rusting is a chemicall change as a the iron in the car is converted into a different substance: iron oxide.
Yes. Iron rusting is a chemical change. Rust is no longer iron, but is iron oxide, therefore a chemical reaction has occurred.
The rusting of iron is a chemical change, where iron and oxygen are the reactants and rust is the product. The basic equation for this reaction is: 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
Rusting of iron is chemical. It is the combination of oxygen with the iron, creating a different chemical: rust or iron oxide.
Rusting of iron is an undesirable change because the layer of rust formed fall off, exposing the metal to further rusting .As result, iron objects become weak with passage of time.
It causes rusting
No, it is a chemical change (conversion to iron oxide)
