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 fillings are not a compound; they are only iron (Fe).
Iron is a chemical element.
Iron = Fe = element
The iron and sulfur react to form the compound iron sulfide.

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