Sulfur atoms are not in iron atoms. Sulfur atoms combine with iron atom by accepting excess electrons from the iron atoms.

Iron atoms become iron ions with a positive charge. Sulfur atoms become sulfide ions with a negative charge. The opposite charges cause the oppositely charged ions to attract each other and form an ionic bond and, in the solid state, a crystal lattice structure.

Iron sulfide can take the form of FeS or Fe2S3 (very unstable), or several other varieties such as Fe3O4. Assuming you mean FeS, then the answer is as follows:
1 moles FeS contains 1 mole of Fe and 1 mole of Fe contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.
If you mean Fe2S3, then 1 mole contains 2 moles Fe which is 2 x 6.02x10^23 atoms = 1.2x10^24 atoms

Iron(II) sulfide is the chemical name for the molecular formula of FeS. The atomic ratios between each iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) atom in this molecule are 1:1.

What are the elements of iron sulfide?

If you mean, "What elements make up iron sulphide," then they are Iron and Sulphur. Various 'types' of iron sulphide exist, including FeS (iron (II) sulphide), FeS2 (commonly known as pyrite, iron (II) disulphide or fool's gold), and Fe2S3 (iron (III) sulphide).


What is the correct name for compound FeS?

iron sulphide, iron(II) sulphide or ferrous sulphide. Iron sulphide is ambiguous however and could refer to any one of a range of iron sulphur compounds,including Fe3S4 and Fe2S3


Are iron and sulphur metals?

Iron sulfide is not a metal. It is a chemical compound with the appearance of a metal, but it does not have some of the characteristics of a metal. For example, it does not conduct electricity.


What atoms do sodium sulphide contain?

Sodium sulphide has one sodium atom and two sulphur atoms. NA2S


What is the molecular structure of iron sulphide?

Iron Sulfide is FeS, meaning that this compound has one iron atom and one sulfur atom. Iron Sulfide is also known as pyrite, or fools gold. The gold color is completely natural, but it is much, much, less heavy than real gold. Another way to find out whether it is real gold or not is to bang it with a hammer. If it shatters instead of bending, it is fool's gold.


What elements would you react together to make the compound iron sulphide?

it says sulphide so it is oxygen so it is iron, sulphur and oxygen but not in this order you may need to research the order as it is a certain one
