physical change

iron nail have high melting point, thus, when it is heated, it will not melt very easily.

chemical change

iron nail can rust due to the exposure to the air(oxygen). iron in the nail and oxygen in the air will react together to form iron oxide(rust).
furthermore, the reaction is irreversible.
