How does soft iorn is different from hard iron?

That depends on what you mean - soft iron is usually the name given to iron that is easily magnetised and demagnetised. In which case it is usually very pure. Mecahnically soft and hard irons have different crystal structures and trace impurities, although iron is more correctly known as steel when it is anything but 100% pure iron.


Why does pure iron have limited usues?

The reason pure iron has limited uses is because it is a soft metal and not very strong.


Is iron filings an element?

Iron filings are not an element. Iron filings are small pieces of iron that have been cut or shaved from a larger piece of iron. Iron itself is an element, with the chemical symbol Fe and atomic number 26.


Is iron durable?

pure iron rusts too rapidly and crumbles, however many iron alloys can be very durable. Iron is a pretty cool element, though, still.


Which is purer wrought or pig iron?

Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."


What is the chemical formula for iron filling?

Iron fillings are pure iron - until they start rusting. So their formula is Fe.


Does iron conduct electricity better than better than steel?

Yes, pure iron generally conducts electricity better than steel because steel is an alloy that contains iron and carbon. The carbon in steel can reduce its electrical conductivity compared to pure iron.


Why is steel superiour to iron?

Steel is very resistant to corrosion. It is hard and strong. It is resistant to stretching, depending on the type of steel; low-alloy steel and nickel steel. Steel is maleable, but not 'soft' like pure iron, iron is much more useful when in the form of steel. Pure iron is weak, too soft to be used in construction or for any building purposes.

Why iron cannot be found in free state?

Oxygen in the air, particularly combined with water, causes iron to rust, so iron turns into rust fairly quickly. Some iron alloys are rust resistant. While these are seldom found in nature, we do sometimes find nickel-iron meteorites that have not rusted away, which is the closest we come to finding metallic iron in nature.
