Sulfur is the 16th element on the Periodic Table, having 16 protons in its nucleus. It is a nonmetal. In its elemental form it is a yellow, flammable solid. Because it is rather brittle, sulfur would make a very poor construction material and is more commonly used for its chemical properties.
Iron is the 26th element, having 26 protons. It is a metal and is a silver color when pure. It is nor normally flammable. Unlike sulfur, iron has many applications in construction and machinery, especially when mixed with other substance to make steel.

What are some differences between iron and sulfur?
Iron is silver while sulfur is yellow, Iron is magnetic while sulfur is not, and Iron looks like dirt and sulfur looks like yellow powdered sugar
What is the gas produced when iron and sulfur are mixed together?
All of the products of a reaction between pure iron and pure sulfur are solids at standard temperature and pressure. Doesn't matter if you're talking about iron(II) or iron (III), or at what stoichiometric ratio the sulfur bonds with the iron.
Is there a reaction between iron and sulfur?
Yes, these elements react to form iron sulfide, FeS.
What is the difference between sulfur and brimstone?
Brimstone is an older name for sulfur, but it's the same! :)
What is the difference between ferric sulfate and ferrous sulfate?
Ferric sulfate contains trivalent iron cations and ferrous sulfate contains divalent iron cations. As a consequence of this, they have different ratios of iron to sulfur or oxygen and other different properties.

How is iron sulphide a compound and not just a mixture of iron and sulfur?
Because in a chemical compound is a chemical bond between the elements. From a mixture of iron and sulfur iron can be separated with a magnet.
What is the difference between iron and iron pyrite?
Iron is composed only of the element Fe (iron). Iron pyrite (most correctly referred to as pyrite) is a mineral composed of Fe and S (sulfur).

Describe why iron filings and sulfur can be classified as element compound or mixture?
Because in a chemical compound is a chemical bond between the elements. From a mixture of iron and sulfur iron can be separated with a magnet.
Is there a reaction between iron and sulfur?
Yes, these elements react to form iron sulfide, FeS.

Are iron and sulfur metals?
Iron is a metal but sulfur is a nonmetal.
Is mixing iron filing and sulfur is a physical change?
It's just physical, unless you heat the mixture. The simple combination of iron and sulfur is a physical mixture: It can be separated with a magnet, and the iron and sulfur are still themselves. The situation changes if you heat the mixture hot enough to start a reaction between the sulfur and iron. If you do so, assuming the ingredients are in the right proportions, you'll have iron sulfide (a compound) and no free iron or sulfur will remain. In that case, you have a chemical reaction.
What mineral is made by sulfur and iron and is also a mixture?
Pyrite is made of iron and sulfur and is the compound iron sulfide with the chemical formula FeS2. It is not a mixture of iron and sulfur. The iron and sulfur are chemically combined to form a compound.
What is the difference between sulfite and sulfur trioxide?
Sulfite is a ion, while Sulfur trioxide is a molecule
