Rust is a compound formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture, resulting in iron oxide (Fe2O3 or Fe3O4). This chemical reaction results in a substance with distinct properties different from the individual elements, making it a compound rather than a mixture. In a mixture, the components retain their individual properties and can be separated physically, while in a compound, the elements are chemically bonded together.
What else can I help you with?
Is iron rust a mixture?
No - essentially iron rust [Fe2O3] is defined as the oxidized derivative of the metal Iron [Fe] However, if the iron rust is not properly prepared we may get contamination. These include Iron Hydroxide, Iron, etc. Hope this helps - bwabwa
Does 100g of iron turn into 100g of iron oxide?
No, when 100g of iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide, the resulting compound will have a different mass than the initial iron due to the addition of oxygen atoms. The mass of the iron oxide formed will be greater than 100g, as the oxygen atoms combine with the iron atoms to form the compound.
Is rust made of atoms or molecules?
Rust (Iron-III oxide) is an ionic compound formed from iron atoms and oxygen atoms. We don't refer to an ionic solid as being a molecule, though, we represent the solid by its smallest building block. In this case, we represent iron (III) oxide as Fe2O3.
Is FeO2 a salt?
no Iron Oxide [Rust] is most often represented as Fe2O3.
Is iron ore a mixture or a compound?
Iron ore is a mixture.
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 is the common name for a compound made of iron and oxygen atoms?
The common name for a compound made of iron and oxygen atoms is iron oxide.
The compound that is made of atoms of iron and oxygen is?

What elements are found in iron oxide atoms?
"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
Is ferric oxide an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Ferric oxide is a compound composed of iron and oxygen atoms. It is not an element because it is made up of more than one type of atom. Additionally, it is a homogeneous mixture because the iron and oxygen atoms are uniformly distributed throughout the compound.
Is iron oxide a element compound or a mixture?
Iron oxide is a compound. There are a number of different oxides of iron FeO, Fe2O3 and Fe3O4
Is wheat flour a element or compound?

Why can a magnet separate separate iron atoms from the mixture but not from the compound?
A magnet can separate iron atoms in a mixture because the iron atoms are not chemically bound to other elements. In a compound, iron atoms are chemically bonded to other elements, making it difficult for a magnet to separate them due to the strong forces holding the atoms together.
What elements are found in iron oxide?
"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
What atom elements are in iron oxide?
"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
Is iron oxide a element?
No. It is not. Iron is an element. Oxygen is an element. Iron Oxide is a compound.
