Is an iron nail a element compound or mixture?
in its pure form, iron is an element, but that may not be what you are referring to.... if you have iron oxide (rust), this is a compound of iron and oxygen.
What are the elements in the compound Fe2O3?
well Fe is one element and O is another, so there are two, but since there are numbers next to the element symbol, it means there are anumber of those elements combined, such as Fe2 O3 there are two ironmolecules and 3 oxygen molecules combined.. Therefore: 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
