A chemical equation describes a chemical change (i.e. a chemical reaction) using symbols. Irons sulfide alone is not undergoing a change - it is more appropriate to give its chemical formula, which is FeS. This is for iron in the +2 oxidation state.

There are a number of compounds that could be called iron sulfide.

Iron(II) sulfide FeS. This is pyrophoric

Iron(III) sulfide Fe2S3 . This is rapidly oxidised by air.

Iron(II,III) sulfide Fe3S4, which is found in nature as a mineral greigite and is ferromagnetic like Fe3O4
