Is rusted iron hard or can be easily broken?

Rusted iron is generally weaker than non-rusted iron, as the rust (iron oxide) can create a brittle layer that compromises its structural integrity. This degradation makes rusted iron more susceptible to breaking or crumbling under stress. While some areas may still retain strength, overall, rusted iron is considered less durable and more easily broken compared to its non-rusted counterpart.

Why isn't rusted iron as attracted to a magnet as non rusted iron?

Rusted iron, or iron oxide, does not contain the same magnetic properties as pure iron. The presence of rust creates a barrier between the iron atoms and the magnetic field, reducing the overall magnetism. Additionally, the rust itself is not magnetic, further decreasing the attraction to a magnet.
