The term "metal" refers to a large group of chemical elements, generally ranging from gray to silver to gold in color, that share common characteristics such a malleability and electrical conductivity. Iron is one such chemical element. Mixtures of metals, with other chemical additions are called "alloys." Some examples: * Iron alloyed with carbon is steel * Iron alloyed with chrome and/or nickel is stainless steel * Copper alloyed with tin is bronze * Copper alloyed with zinc is brass * Tin alloyed with copper and antimony is pewter

What is the difference between gold ore and iron ore. Why can we see small pieces of yellow metal in gold ore but no iron metal in iron ore?
gold is very resistant to corrosion so a significant fraction of gold ore is pure gold metal. iron corrodes very easily so iron ore is always mostly a mix of iron oxides (i.e. rusts).
Difference between ferous and non-ferous metals?
Non-ferous metal has no iron in it and ferous metal do. Also the different metals can be used for different vehicles, depending on what value or engine it has.
Is iron III oxide a molecular compound why?
No. Iron III oxide is an ionic compound. This is due to the large difference in electronegativity between oxygen and iron. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 2.0 a compound is generally ionic. The difference between iron and oxygen is 2.61.
What is the difference between metal and medal?
metal is a substance and medal is something made out of metal
Difference between stainless steel and teflon?
There are both fundamental differences, and relationships between these two gives. Stainless steel is an iron based metal alloy. Teflon is a trademarked synthetic chemical used as a nonstick and lubricating coating, often on metal surfaces.
What is the difference between a magnet and a metal pan?
A metal pan will not attract iron but a magnet does.
What is the difference between a non ferrous and ferrous metal?
Ferrous = Contains Iron Non-Ferrous = Does Not Contain Iron
What is the difference between helium and iron?
Helium is a gas that is lighter than air. Iron is a solid metal and is heavy.
How can you tell the difference between a bar of iron a bar of copper and a magnet?
Iron is a ferromagnetic metal, and copper is not. Iron will be attracted to the magnet but the copper will not.
What is the difference between being a welder an iron worker and a sheet metal worker?
The difference is you usually work with different materials.
What is the reaction between iron metal and oxygen gas making solid iron oxide?
the reaction between iron metal and oxygen gas making solid iron oxide

What is the difference between iron smith and blacksmith?
no difference
Difference between ferous and non-ferous metals?
Non-ferous metal has no iron in it and ferous metal do. Also the different metals can be used for different vehicles, depending on what value or engine it has.
What is the difference from the steel plow and iron plow?
The metal type and quality.
What is the difference between gray iron and ductile iron?
its darker
What is the difference between galvanised and alkanized?
Galvanised = metal (iron, steels) protected with a layer of zinc Alkanized = water or a solution with a pH greater than 7
