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.
element
No, iron metal is not a compound. It is an element because it is made up of only one type of atom - iron.
An iron nail is a pure substance, which is an element composed of iron atoms. It is not a compound or a mixture as it consists of only one type of atom.
Nails are made from iron alloys (steels).
Yes & No. Iron is an Element with symbol Fe. Most Nails are an alloy of Iron and other metals and usually coated or anodized. However most nails will still have the properties of pure Iron, such as magnetism and oxidizes rapidly. Iron is an element. Nails are made using iron or iron alloys.
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 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 oxide is not a single element, but rather a compound composed of iron and oxygen atoms.
Iron is an element
the exposure of water or moisture to the iron nail will convert the element to fe+3

Iron is a chemical element; sand may be a compound or a mixture.
