== == Being a layman, this answer will be a lay answer, until a chemist can improve it. The word rust is often used generically to describe the corrosion of several metals, BUT in actuality, ONLY IRON, or metal alloys containing IRON can rust. Most metal do corrode, but the term rust applys only to ferrous [iron] metals. The rusting of iron is an oxidation-reduction type of chemical reaction whereby oxygen combines with the outer region of the iron containing metal.
What else can I help you with?
Is rust eating a hole in a metal bucket living?
No, rusting is chemical reaction - an oxidation.
After a metal object turns to dust (rust) it would have .?
Rusting of iron is a chemical process, an oxydation reaction.
Is rusting a chemical property or a chemical change?
Rusting is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water to form iron oxide (rust). It results in the formation of a new substance with different chemical properties than the original iron.
Is a metal railing rusting in damp water a chemical change?
Yes, the rusting of a metal railing in damp water is a chemical change. This is because the iron in the metal is undergoing a chemical reaction with the oxygen and water in the environment to form iron oxide, commonly known as rust.
When a piece of metal is sitting outside and it begins to rust this is a chemical reaction is this true or false?
Both true and false. Rusting is both a chemical reaction (converting iron to iron oxide) and a physical process (the iron oxide absorbs water and hydrates, causing it to expand and fracture the rusting metal into pieces).
How is a rusting a nail a chemical change?
Rust is a chemical reaction called oxide. When a nail rust, the chemical change is related to the reaction of the metal and oxygen.
Is rust a result of a chemical reaction?
Rusting is a reaction which combines molecules to form other molecules : metal +oxygen=rust
Is rust a good or bad chemical reaction?
Rusting is generally considered undesirable since it weakens the metal that is rusting.

Is rusting iron a physical change in science?
no rusting iron is not a physical change it is a chemical change

Is rust part of chemistry?
Rusting is a chemical reaction.
Is rusting a chemical property or a chemical change?
Rusting is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water to form iron oxide (rust). It results in the formation of a new substance with different chemical properties than the original iron.
Is a metal railing rusting in damp water a chemical change?
Yes, the rusting of a metal railing in damp water is a chemical change. This is because the iron in the metal is undergoing a chemical reaction with the oxygen and water in the environment to form iron oxide, commonly known as rust.
Is lack of ability to rust a physical or chemical?
Rusting is a chemical reaction. Thus, rust resistance is a chemical property.
