sodium and potassium. This is actually an experiment.

collect dry leaves and burn them to ashes,

then dissolve them on droplets of water.

Then make the water evaporate by burning using alcohol lamp.

then put denatured alcohol, dissolve the mixture and transfer it to aluminum foil then burn it. if the color of the flame is yellow it is sodium, purple is potassium

Iron is not found in chlorophyll. Iron is found in Heme and hemoglobin.

Clarification: Chlorophyll and Heme are similar types of molecules called porphyrins. In each there is a central metal ion. In the case of chlorophyll, the central ion is magnesium, Mg2+. In Heme the central ion is iron, Fe2+.
