The rusting of an iron pole is a chemical change. An example of a chemical change would be crumbling a piece of paper. When you are crumbling this piece of paper, the contents of the paper have not change and you are able to uncrumble the paper there is no difference except the paper has wrinkles. :) However in an example of chemical change like a metal rusting, you cannot un-rust it, it was chemically changed. Another example of a chemical change would be burning a piece of paper to ashes.

Does south and iron attract or repel?

South and iron attract each other. The south pole of a magnet attracts the north-seeking pole of iron, which is why a compass needle, often made of iron, aligns with the Earth's magnetic field pointing towards the North Pole.


A magnet attracts a piece of iron and the iron can then attract another piece of iron .What is the basis of this attraction?

When an iron piece is quite away from the magnet ,i.e, not present in magnetic field of the magnet then the iron piece is in neutral state ,i.e, there is no north & south pole . But , as soon as the iron piece interacts with magnetic field of magnet ,i.e, near to the magnet then the north pole of magnet make the nearer part or end of the iron piece south pole & simultaneously other part of iron becomes north pole . Similarly if south pole of the magnet interacts with iron piece then that end/part becomes north pole & other end becomes north pole . Now this iron piece has north & south pole .So iron piece is now converted into magnet which can attract other iron pieces in similar way as explained before .

no because the atomic structure of the atoms in the metal will not chemically change. the free (delocalised) electrons in a metal form non-directional bonds with the atoms. there are also layers of atoms in a metal and these slide over each other and do not break.
