Yes it could be depending on what it is mixed with. Please talk to your science teacher before trying anything., like mixing up stuff to see what happens that is dangerous. Please read lab safety manual

How does the element iron change when mixed with another element?
a) formation of chemical compounds b) formation of alloys
How many oxygen atoms are in iron?
There are no iron atoms in oxygen. Oxygen is an element in itself so it can not be complicated by another element unless it becomes a molecule of something else. Usually iron that has been mixed with oxygen can be form an iron oxide.
Is steel an element or a compound?
It is neither an element not a compound. Steel is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of a metal and another element. In the case of steel, it is principally iron (an element), with about 0.2% to 2,0% carbon ( an element), mixed in. Other elements can be mixed in , e.g. chromium to form Stainless Steel, or Tungsten to form hard wearing steel.
Mars is often described as the Red Planet because of what element mixed with oxygen on its surface?
The red colour is caused by iron compounds in the soil. Iron is bonded to oxygen, not mixed with it.
Is iron explosive if combined with another element such as sodium?
no not usually
What is the difference between iron and an atom of iron?
NOTHING! An atom is just another name for an element!!
Is iron a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
Iron is an element; it cannot be broken down into smaller atoms. Every atom in iron is a iron atom so it is homogenous.
What is steel element or compound?
Steel consists of iron, mixed with carbon and smaller amounts of other elements.
Is alluminium ferrous?
No. A ferrous metal is a metal that contains iron (steel, for example, is ferrous as it is a mixture of iron and carbon). Since aluminum is an element, it is not ferrous unless it is mixed with iron.
Is iron a mixture or element?
Iron is an element NOT a mixture.
What is the chemical name for the element Fe?
Fe is Iron. It isn't 'Ir' because they got Fe from iron's Latin name, ferum. It also can't be 'Ir' because Ir is already the symbol for another element, iridium.
Is iron listed as a compound or an element in Total cereal?
The iron in total cereal is elemental iron shavings which can be extracted from the cereal with a strong magnet after it has been ground to a powder and mixed with water.
