Answer 2

Iron is an element. It is one of the elements in the Periodic Table.

In the periodic table atomic iron is in a group called transition metals.
Thus iron is a type of metal known as a transition metal.
That makes it different than, for example, an alkali metal like sodium. Iron is also called a ferrous metal, the word ferrous meaning iron.

Collections of atoms of iron form the material we also call iron.

Iron when it is mined as iron ore is not pure, but mixed with other atoms. After iron ore is purified, it becomes the material we call iron. We also say the material is the metal named iron. In pure form, it is all the same thing.

There are a vast number of variations of alloys which are largely iron combined with other elements. Steel is such a combination.
