An Iron nail is an Element being that we know the def. for element: is the simplest form of mater. Seeing this we know that a Iron nail is a simple form of mater along with other metals.
hope this helped (:
info all from 'Organisms and the Environment' text book (:
An iron nail is an element if it is made out of pure iron. Some nails are alloys and are in that sense classified as compounds.
compound
Nails are made from iron alloys (steels).
It's an oxidation reaction forming iron oxide (rust). Basically: iron + oxygen = iron oxide Iron, (Fe) is an element and react easily with the element Oxygen (O2) the resultant material is a compound known as rust or iron oxide, (FeO2) this proces is known as oxidization.
Iron is a chemical element.
Iron = Fe = element
No. Iron is an element.
in its pure form, iron is an element, but that may not be what you are referring to.... if you have iron oxide (rust), this is a compound of iron and oxygen.
Nails are made from iron alloys (steels).
if you mean an iron nail , then it is an element symbol "fe"
Iron could be a compound if you combined it with carbon. Then it would just be a alloy. Overall, iron is not a compound at all. It is an element.
Iron is a element, it isn't a compound
Iron is a compound iron nail is a iron ore which means that the iron nail is a mixture of metals such as copper and zinc added to make the nail stronger.
Iron is an element
No. It is not. Iron is an element. Oxygen is an element. Iron Oxide is a compound.
the exposure of water or moisture to the iron nail will convert the element to fe+3
It's an oxidation reaction forming iron oxide (rust). Basically: iron + oxygen = iron oxide Iron, (Fe) is an element and react easily with the element Oxygen (O2) the resultant material is a compound known as rust or iron oxide, (FeO2) this proces is known as oxidization.
Iron is a chemical element, not a compound.
Iron is a chemical element; sand may be a compound or a mixture.
