Iron is a metal and therefore is not made of molecules, but rather atoms. Molecules are only for covalent substances like sand, which is SiO2. No, they would not look the same if you could magnify them enough to see them. Metals form a "sea of electrons" with the inner shells of the atoms surrounded by delocalized electrons. SiO2 is a network solid which would have more of a lattice type structure. The size of the atoms would be different as well.
What else can I help you with?
Why is an iron not a diatomic molecule?
Iron is an element that exists as atoms, not molecules. Each iron atom has 26 protons in its nucleus, giving it its atomic number. Diatomic molecules contain two atoms of the same element bonded together, which does not apply to iron.
Is Iron oxide formed from three iron molecules and four oxygen molecules?
Probably you mean Iron and Oxygene atoms? It is a mix of oxides Fe2O3*FeO.
Must a balanced equation must have the same compounds on each side of the equation?
A balanced equation does not have the same compounds on each side of the equation. A balanced equation has the same atoms on each side of the equation. You are taking some elements or compounds and creating different compounds. For example, you may be taking Iron Ore and Coal to produce Iron. 2FeO + C -> 2Fe + CO2. You take 2 molecules of Iron Oxide and one molecule of Carbon. You get 2 molecules of Iron and one molecule of Carbon Dioxide. That is how steel mills work. Look at your stove. It is made from iron. It began as Iron Ore and Carbon.
What type of macro molecule is iron?
No, iron is a metallic element and do not exists as molecules, macro molecules are those which contain thousands of atoms or molecules as a single unity as starch, proteins etc.
How does the movement of molecules inside a solid block of iron change as the iron is heated?
As the iron is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, causing them to vibrate more rapidly and over larger distances. This increased motion disrupts the ordered arrangement of the molecules, leading to expansion of the solid structure as the molecules move further apart.
How many molecules are one mole of iron?
One mole of iron contains 6.022 x 10^23 iron atoms. Each iron atom consists of a single iron molecule, so one mole of iron contains the same number of iron molecules, which is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules.
Why is an iron not a diatomic molecule?
Iron is an element that exists as atoms, not molecules. Each iron atom has 26 protons in its nucleus, giving it its atomic number. Diatomic molecules contain two atoms of the same element bonded together, which does not apply to iron.
Are 2 molecules in water the same?
Nope, All molecules are different. They might look the same, but they aleast have thing different.
What happens to the molecules when a steel bar is left outside and starts rusting?
The molecules of iron combine with molecules of oxygen to form molecules of iron oxide- or rust.
How many atoms of iron are found in 2 molecules of iron sulfate?
If iron(II), then iron sulfate is FeSO4. This has a single Fe atom per molecule (or two Fe in two molecules). If you have iron(III), then iron sulfate is Fe2(SO4)3. This compound has two iron atoms per molecule (or four Fe in two molecules).
Is Iron oxide formed from three iron molecules and four oxygen molecules?
Probably you mean Iron and Oxygene atoms? It is a mix of oxides Fe2O3*FeO.

How does the movement of molecules inside of a solid block of iron change as iron is heated?
As iron is heated, the movement of molecules inside the solid block of iron increases, leading to greater vibration and kinetic energy. This causes the atoms and molecules to move more freely within the lattice structure of the solid, resulting in expansion of the iron block.
Why is iron in your blood?
Iron is necessary to carry oxygen molecules to your cells.
How many water molecules are bound to iron II ammonium sulfate?
Six water molecules are bound to iron (II) ammonium sulfate.
What type of macro molecule is iron?
No, iron is a metallic element and do not exists as molecules, macro molecules are those which contain thousands of atoms or molecules as a single unity as starch, proteins etc.
