It depends on the deposit. What deposit are you talking about? What measure of hardness are you after? e.g. UCS, Moh's Hardness Scale e.t.c.
On moh it is 4
Brinnel hardness it is 490
Iron has a density of 7847 kgm-3.A However there are a number of different types of steel and the density is dependent on the alloying materials used and ranges between 7750 and 8050 kgm-3.B
Density of some common steel types:C
Tool Steel - 7715 kgm-3
Carbon Tool Steel 7.82 kgm-3
Carbon Steel 7840 kgm-3
Stainless 18Cr-8Ni Steel = 8030 kgm-3

Compared to other metals, yes. If you were to weigh iron against other metals of the same mass, you would fine iron to be heavier than the others. Cast iron weighs more because of it's higher content of carbon. It causes iron to be heavy and hard, but also causes brittleness. Other metals, such as steel, have a much lower carbon percentage, which is why your stainless steel pan weighs considerably less than your cast iron pan.
about 6 times as heavy as the same volume of water
it depends on how much of Iron Ore you have
Yes it is, alot heavier than other metals
no it is a heavy metal
it is weak
iron ore iron ore
The principal ore for iron is haematite.
It's called the Ore
Iron Ore is an Iron Compound. Iron ore is usually used to make pig iron(metallic iron), cast iron, corrugated iron structural sheeting, and wrought iron.
The specific gravity of iron ore is 2.5
There are many different iron ores, so each would have a different hardness.
Ferro-ferrous oxide. Fe3O4 Cubic Hardness 5.5-6.5 streak is black.
Iron is not a mineral used in Moh's hardness scale.
The minerals that comprise the various iron ores have varied Mohs' hardness. Hematite: 5.5-6.5 Magnetite: 5.5-6.5 Limonite: 4-5.5 Pyrite: 6-6.5
Lithium (Li), with a Mohs hardness of 0,6.

no they are not the same because iron is a metal that is obtained from its ore called iron ore
Iron ore.
Iron Ore fines are Iron Ore that have been crushed to under 10mm. Iron Ore pellets are Iron Ore fines that have been concentrated and bonded together to form small balls, or pellets.

In Minecraft,in order to get iron ore out of a mined block of iron you need to smelt the iron ore block in a furnace.
