Steels and brass are not chemical compounds but alloys.
Brass: an alloy of copper, generally with zinc, but also with Mn, As, Si, P, Al.
Steel: an alloy of iron with C, Si, V, Mo, Si, Mn, Ti, Cr, Co, Ni, etc.
William T. Hall has written: 'The chemical and metallographic examination of iron, steel and brass' -- subject(s): Metallography, Analysis, Steel, Iron, Brass
brass is heavier than steel. brass is 4.199857lbs. and steel is only 3.8636lbs. hih.

An atom is what makes up chemical formulae. Just look at the periodic table -- those are your chemical formulae for atoms. Can be from H to Uuo.
Linear Temperature Expansion Coefficient (10-6 in/in oF) Brass = 10.4 Steel = 7.3 Therefore brass will expand or contract more steel.
If a steel pipe is fitted with a brass tap, it is the brass tap that will get corroded.
Steel is stronger.

You can mark or slightly dent steel with a brass punch, but the steel is always going to win.
