Carbon and iron are known as elements because they cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means.
Iron is NOT made up of two elements. Iron is an element in its own right. It is found in the Periodic Table of Elements as 'Fe'. 'Fe' is the initials of the Latin name for iron, which is Ferrum. However, iron is mined as iron ore, which is an oxide of iron. It is a chemical combination of iron and oxygen. These are possibly the two elements you are thinking about. As oxides of iron can be found in different forms ( oxidation states). They Are. :- Fe3O4 ; Magnetite. (Lodestone of early navigation). Fe2O3 ; Iron (III) Oxide [ Ferric oxide) the common iron ore. FeO ; Iron (II) Oxide (Ferrous oxide) FeS ; Iron (II) Sulphide (Much less common. Iron metal is NOT found uncombined.
They are all elements.
two different elements
No. Alloys are mixtures made up of elements like:steel- made up of iron and carbon. Iron and carbon are elements but steel isnt.
Iron is an element in its own right. So there are no two elements that make iron. However, Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Iron and Carbon are tweo different elements. So steel contains two different elements.
mostly iron and carbon but there are three other elements.
The two elements that make up steel are mainly carbon and iron.
Iron and Carbon. Steel is 98.0 to 99.8% Iron and the rest Carbon. It may have traces of other elements.
