When iron rusts, it forms a reddish-brown coating on the surface. This coating is a combination of iron oxide, and it can flake off, exposing more of the iron underneath to continue the rusting process.
Iron rusts.
Iron rusting is a chemical change.
It rusts. Check the "related links" if you are concerned for more information regarding the chemical reactions that take place and the different products formed when iron rusts.
False, iron atoms are converted to iron oxide
the iron combines with oxygen, forming iron III oxide, or Fe2O3
Iron is the transition metal that rusts when exposed to oxygen, forming iron oxide.

No. Iron rusts but it is not biodegradable.
Iron rusts.
The reducing agent when iron rusts is the iron itself. Iron atoms lose electrons to oxygen atoms in the presence of water and oxygen gas, leading to the formation of iron oxide (rust).
They are made of iron and iron rusts.
only iron rusts
False. When iron rusts, iron atoms are not destroyed. Instead, iron atoms combine with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide (rust), which causes the iron to corrode.
Iron atoms are not destroyed when iron rusts; they undergo a chemical reaction called oxidation, forming iron oxide (rust). The atoms are rearranged to create a new compound, but the iron atoms still exist within the rust.
The oxygen that rusts iron comes from the air. When iron is exposed to oxygen and moisture in the air, a chemical reaction occurs that forms iron oxide, known as rust.
