Iron is NOT made up of two elements.

Iron is an element in its own right. It is found in the Periodic Table of Elements as 'Fe'.

'Fe' is the initials of the Latin name for iron, which is Ferrum.

However, iron is mined as iron ore, which is an oxide of iron. It is a chemical combination of iron and oxygen. These are possibly the two elements you are thinking about.

As oxides of iron can be found in different forms ( oxidation states).

They Are. :-

Fe3O4 ; Magnetite. (Lodestone of early navigation).

Fe2O3 ; Iron (III) Oxide [ Ferric oxide) the common iron ore.

FeO ; Iron (II) Oxide (Ferrous oxide)

FeS ; Iron (II) Sulphide (Much less common.

Iron metal is NOT found uncombined.

What two elements make up earths core?

The core of the earth contains many elements, not just two.However the two most abundant elements in the earth's core are nickle and iron (the final two elements that a star can make by fusion before it dies).But there are many other elements in the core, especially ones with atomic masses greater than that of nickel and iron. Many of these heavy elements are radioactive (e.g. radium, thorium, uranium) and it is the heat generated by the decay of these heavy radioactive elements that keeps the core hot and the outer core liquid.
