The number of protons, neutrons ad electrons is different.
An iron atom is the smallest iron particle that still has the properties of iron.
Iron sulphide is a dark gray to black solid with a metallic luster. It can appear in different crystal structures, including pyrite (fool's gold) or marcasite, depending on the conditions of formation. Both pyrite and marcasite have a cubic crystal structure but their external appearance can differ.
Iron's symbol is Fe.
It is an atoms chemical properties that determine whether it is iron or manganese or aluminium. These properties are (to a first approximation) controlled by the number of electrons in the outermost shell.A single atom is the smallest unit that has the chemical properties.Anything smaller is electrons or protons, or neutrons ... .
It means that the atom being discussed is an isotope of iron that has a mass number of 57, which means that the atom has 31 neutrons.Added:It is the 3rd most abundant Fe isotope after Fe-56 and -54.
Gold has many more protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom than iron does. So each gold atom weighs almost four times as much as each iron atom. The extra electrons in the gold atoms do make the atom a little bigger than an iron atom, but not a whole lot. So there are nearly as many gold atoms as iron atoms per volume, but each gold atom weighs a lot more. So gold ends up denser.
Iron Sulfide is FeS, meaning that this compound has one iron atom and one sulfur atom. Iron Sulfide is also known as pyrite, or fools gold. The gold color is completely natural, but it is much, much, less heavy than real gold. Another way to find out whether it is real gold or not is to bang it with a hammer. If it shatters instead of bending, it is fool's gold.
They are elements not compound mixture
Helium: 2 electrons Gold: 79 electrons Iron: 26 electrons
Substances like pure gold (Au), pure copper (Cu), and pure iron (Fe) are examples of materials that are not alloys because they consist of a single type of atom in their structure.

Yes, carbon, oxygen, iron, and gold are all elements. Elements are substances made up of one type of atom, and each has its own unique chemical properties.

since gold has way more protons and neutrons in it's nucleus in each atom.
Gold and iron behave differently in terms of corrosion resistance. Gold is highly resistant to corrosion and does not tarnish, making it highly suitable for jewelry and other decorative items. In contrast, iron is prone to rusting when exposed to moisture and oxygen, which can weaken its structure over time.
