Iron chloride is more than just polar.
It is ionic.
Fe2O3 (iron oxide) is a nonpolar molecule because it has a symmetrical arrangement of its polar covalent bonds. The dipole moments in these bonds cancel each other out, resulting in a nonpolar overall molecule.
Iron filings may be pure elemental iron, it depends on the source of the iron.

Yes, you can distinguish iron filings from sulfur by using a magnet. Iron filings are attracted to the magnet and can be separated from sulfur, which is not magnetic.

One method to separate iron filings and sulfur is to use a magnet. The iron filings are attracted to the magnet and can be easily separated from the sulfur. This method takes advantage of the magnetic properties of iron filings.
Sulfur and iron filings together are a mixture.
