What is the difference between iron and iron sulphide?

Answer 1

A mixture of Iron and Sulphur is exactly that, iron filings mixed with sulphur that has not undergone any chemical reaction. Iron sulphide is the result of the reaction of Iron with sulphur.

Answer 2

Iron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe, while iron sulfide is a compound made up of iron and sulfur with the chemical formula FeS. Iron is a pure metal, while iron sulfide is a chemical compound that forms when iron reacts with sulfur. Iron sulfide is often found in nature as the mineral pyrite, also known as "fool's gold."

Answer 3

Iron is a metal and sulphur is a non-metal. further iron is in D-block in Periodic Table and sulphur in P block

Answer 4

Iron is a natural element, whereas Iron Sulfide has been ionically bonded with the natural elements of sulfur and hydrogen. The chemical symbol of iron sulfide is FeSO4 + H2

Answer 5

one is just Fe and the other is bonded with sulfur

Answer 6

in the mixture of iron and sulphide the iron can be separated by a magnet but in iron sulphide iron cannot be separated

Answer 7

When iron and sulphur are together they are a mixture but iron sulphide is a compound. They have not had a chemical reaction.

Answer 8

Iron and sulphur when heated together make the new compound iron sulfide (FeS).

Iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) both are elements
