The two correct examples of chemical weathering from your list are:
1. **Acid rain breaking down compounds in rock statues** - This is a clear example of chemical weathering, where acidic precipitation reacts with minerals in the rock, altering their chemical composition and causing decay.
2. **Oxidation of certain metals in rock** - This is also chemical weathering, as oxidation involves a chemical reaction where oxygen reacts with minerals, typically resulting in the breakdown or alteration of those minerals.
The other options listed involve physical weathering or biological processes rather than chemical changes.
