Solution
The chemical reaction involved in the corrosion of iron metal is that of oxidation as well as combination.
Explanation:
During corrosion, iron metal reacts with oxygen gas in the presence of moisture to form hydrated iron(III) oxide (rust). This is an oxidation reaction because oxygen is added to the iron. It is also a combination reaction because multiple reactants (iron, oxygen, and water) fuse together to form a single compound.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a rusty-brown solid A are mixed with the powder of another solid B. However, when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products C is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product D floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.
