Sand is NOT an element. Iron IS an element.
Iron is an element. It is a pure substance that consists of only one type of atom, specifically iron atoms.
After mixing sand and iron fillings together, you can use a magnet to separate the iron fillings from the sand since iron is magnetic and sand is not. By moving the magnet over the mixture, the iron fillings will stick to the magnet and can be removed, leaving the sand behind.
Sand is primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is the oxide of the element silicon.
You can separate sand and iron marbles using a magnet. The iron marbles will be attracted to the magnet, allowing you to separate them from the sand.
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.
Sand is NOT an element. Iron IS an element.
Iron is a chemical element; sand may be a compound or a mixture.
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).
No sand is not a element.
Iron is a element, it isn't a compound
iron (i.e., pure) is a metal / element in the periodic table, but types of iron are compounds like wrought iron, pig iron cast iron., etc.
No. It is not. Iron is an element. Oxygen is an element. Iron Oxide is a compound.
