Pure iron is soft and weak, but when iron is bonded with other elements like carbon, it becomes a strong, hard and durable metal. It can be made into steel (iron + carbon), which can be used for many things like cars, ships and cutlery (stainless steel).
Hope i helped :-)

What chemical species is sa cation?
A cation is an ion with a positive charge. Ex: Iron(III) ion, Ca2+, Mercurous ion
When forming produce which ion should be listed first?
the positive ion A+
Why is an iron atom attracted to sulfide ion but not to a zinc ion?
why is an iron ion attracted to a sulfide ion but not to a zinc ion
Why an iron ion is attracted to a sulfide ion but not to a zinc ion?
Both the iron ion and the zinc ion carry positive charges while the sulfide ion carries a negative charge. Like charges repel each other, opposite charges attract each other.
Is a hydroxyl ion a positive ion?
The hydroxyl ion is not a positive ion but rather a negative ion. The hydroxyl ion or anion is also known as hydroxide.
Why is an iron ion is attracted to a sulfide but not a zine ion?
An iron ion and a sulfide ion have positive and negative charges respectively, and they attract each other. But having positive charges in both, iron ions do not attract with zinc ions.
Is cesium a negative or positive iron?
Cesium is a negative ion.
