Steel (iron and carbon) is a useful compound. Small variations in the amount of carbon can make compounds that have great resiliency (springs) great hardness (knives) great tensile strength (wire) etc.
Alloys with nickel and chrome are resistant to corrosion (stainless)
There are many iron compounds. Some of the most common of these are iron oxide, iron acetate, iron phosphate and iron sulfate.
Can iron form other compounds
Iron is an element. Metal referred to as Iron is often not pure iron, but rather an alloy or mixture. There are cases where the iron will contain some compounds of iron with other elements, but in general, it will just be iron alloyed with something else or iron with small amounts of other compounds distributed throughout.

Examples of elements: iron, hydrogen, uranium, potassium, sulfur etc. Examples of compounds: sodium bicarbonate, potassium iodide, sulfur hexafluoride, silver chloride, sucrose etc.
Magnets attract ferromagnetic metals, alloys, oxides or other compounds; examples are: iron, cobalt, nickel, dysprosium, iron oxides, some compounds of lanthanides etc.
Zinc displace iron. Iron displace copper.
Ore is a mineral that can be refined into some useful substance, which is usually a metal. Iron ore is the rock from which iron is refined.
no both iron and silicon are elements. chemical compounds aretwo or more elements.
The oxidation state of iron in iron (III) compounds is +3. This means that each iron atom in these compounds has lost 3 electrons.
Iron oxide has two main chemical compounds: iron(II) oxide (FeO) and iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3). Both compounds consist of two elements - iron and oxygen.
