Iron fillings are not a compound; they are only iron (Fe).
compoundIf the iron fillings are pure, they contain only one type of atom (all the atoms have the same number of protons). Thus, the filings would be a sample of the element iron. If the filings are rusty, then they would contain compounds (iron oxides).
Iron is a chemical element.
The iron and sulfur react to form the compound iron sulfide.

Yes iron or Fe (by its atomic symbol) is an element.
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
No. It is not. Iron is an element. Oxygen is an element. Iron Oxide is a compound.
Iron is an element
Heating sulfur with iron fillings lead to the formation of iron sulfide - a chemical compound.
Iron is a chemical element, not a compound.
Iron is a chemical element; sand may be a compound or a mixture.
Iron is a chemical 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.
