The only chemical that could make something rust is iron; "rust" refers specifically to the corrosion of iron, so copper cannot rust. However, its corrosion is caused by copper itself being oxidised and forming compounds which are water soluble and also easier to damage.
Pennies don't rust. Rust technically speaking is iron oxide and pennies have little to no iron. They do however oxidize, tuning them green from the copper which makes up most of the metal they are made from.
If you use a abrasive to scrape the rust off, then it is a physical change. If you utilize a chemical that combines with the rust leaving the unoxidized penny behind, then it is a chemical change.
I am quite sure that rust is a chemical change. Rust is caused when oxygen atoms begin bonding with the iron in the nail, which makes it a compound instead of a pure element.
Copper forms a green rust known as basic copper carbonate or malachite when exposed to oxygen and moisture over time.
you have metals like copper like a penny that rust and you also have a common thing whick huwqhu qjituatqh
"Rust" is the result of a reaction between iron and oxygen. Copper has no iron in it, so does not rust. It can corrode, though, and yield a bright whitish-blue material.

Copper does not rust like iron, but it can develop a greenish layer called patina when exposed to air and moisture. This patina is primarily composed of copper compounds such as copper carbonate and copper hydroxide, which form a protective layer on the surface of the copper, preventing further corrosion.
Yes. The rust on the penny indicates that a reaction between the penny and its environment has occurred. Since a new material was formed from this reaction (the rust) the reaction must be a chemical reaction.
Rusting is a reduction/oxidation reaction.
a chemical reaction makes something happen, like rust or water
If you use a abrasive to scrape the rust off, then it is a physical change. If you utilize a chemical that combines with the rust leaving the unoxidized penny behind, then it is a chemical change.
Pennies are made of zinc plated with copper. Copper reacts with oxygen and water to form copper oxide. This is the tarnish you see on pennies that have been in damp conditions. The only U.S. coins that can truly rust are the 1943 zinc coated steel cents.
by me
Copper doesn't rust
iron will rust faster because the hydrogen molecules combine with metalic molecules in the iron faster which causes the chemical reaction process to speed up sincerly, Jake from AZ 7th grade student
