pure metals are too soft due to the neat arrangement of their atoms. hence alloys are usually used as the inconsistent atom sizes would prevent atoms from sliding pass one another:D

Alloys are commonly used in manufacturing. Which of the following is not a reason to use an alloy instead a pure metal?
Cast iron is more brittle than pure iron.
What is the experiments and shop test for Identifying Ferrous and nonferrous Metals and alloys?
Get a magnet, Magnets stick to ferrous metals, and do not stick to non-ferrous metals. Metals containing iron are ferrous (iron's chemical symbol: Fe). You use iron filings to see the lines of magnetic flux. Pure iron is as ferrous as you can get! Pure copper, on the other hand, is non-ferrous AND non-magnetic.
What did they use to iron the clothes?
An iron.
Purest form of iron is?
Wrought iron is purer than pig iron. When purifying iron ore in a furnace furnace, air is passed through a "charge" of iron ore, limestone, and some form of carbon, charcoal or coal. This "smelting" process is a chemical change: the molten iron produced is tapped from the furnace as "pig" iron. Pig iron is iron with a high carbon content as well as some sulfur. Due to it's impurities pig iron has a lower melting point and is acceptable for casting but not forging. Wrought Iron is made much the same way with the exception of the carbon source being used is coke, a purified form of bituminous coal. Coke being a purer form of carbon burns smokeless and imparts little to no carbon to the iron allowing more impurities to burn out. This byproduct is wrought iron. Wrought iron is acceptable for either casting or forging.
How do you separate iron from sulphur in a mixture of iron fillings and sulphur?
you an use a magnet to get the iron fillings out
Alloys are commonly used in manufacturing. Which of the following is not a reason to use an alloy instead a pure metal?
Cast iron is more brittle than pure iron.
Use diagram to explain why pure iron is described as an element?
because of thieving jews
Why is steel rather than pure iron used to make car bodies?
It is because the iron is not strong enough to be able to handle the pressures that steel can. Pure iron is to soft and weak to be of any use and the iron from the blast furnace has too much carbon in it to be useful. That is the real reason
Why do iron use in structures?
Iron/steel is used in building because of its great strength and, the fact that it is relatively abundant, thus inexpensive.
Why is iron a good metal for to use for bridges?
Iron as a metal in the pure form is somewhat fragile. But iron mixed with some impurities like Carbon is very strong which is used in the construction of bridges. This iron mixed with impurities is called as Cast Iron.
How do you get pure iron and what is it used for?
we get it from reacting it in a blast furnace firstly we react oxygen and carbon coke to form carbon dioxide which then reacts further with the coke to form carbon monoxide which then reacts with oxygen from the iron oxide to form carbon dioxide and pure molten Iron. And we use it occasionaly in medicine as iron supplements or in anylytical chemistry.
What are the elements in iron tools?
Strictly speaking, we rarely use pure iron, particularly not in tools. Mix in a Little of some other stuff, like coal(carbon) Molybdenum, Chrome, Nickel etc you get a falmily of Alloys called steel. Steel is stronger than pure iron and more likely to be used in "iron" Tools.
Why is sandstone good for its use?
it is used for building
Why can planning be use to obtain the element gold but cannot be use to obtain the element iron?
I think the word you seek is Panning, not Planning. Gold, when found as a fairly pure metal, can be separated from rock/sand by panning or a sluice box due to the much greater weight of gold. However, iron is rarely found as a pure metal, but as an ore that must be refined to get iron. The iron is chemically combined with something else, such as oxygen.
How do you make an iron?
Just mine some Iron Ore (use a pickaxe on a brown rock) and then smelt it in a furnace (found in various places). There is a 50% success rate. If the ore is pure, you will retrieve a bar of iron.
Why pure iron has limited use?
It is a soft metal, so it's not very strong, unless made an alloy.
What did the ancient egyptians use for building?
They used limestone for most of their pyramids and mostly pure brute strength to carry the limestone.
