Carbon has an atomic number of 6 while Iron has an atomic number of 26.

Carbon has an Atomic Mass of 12.011 and Iron has an atomic mass of 55.847

The number of electrons, protons and neutrons are all different

They have a different number of valence electrons.

They have different boiling points, melting/freezing points and densities.

The size of the atomic radius is different (Iron being bigger)

They have different electronegativites and first ionization points.

Carbon is non-metal and Iron is a transition metal.

They have different charges.

Carbon is a group 14(4A) and Iron is a group 8. Carbon is a period 2 element, Iron is a period 4 element.

Iron will react with water to create a colorful solution.

(It's more than 2, but you have more options now.)

What two elements make iron?

Iron is an element in its own right. So there are no two elements that make iron. However, Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Iron and Carbon are tweo different elements. So steel contains two different elements.


What two elements form steel?

Steel contains Iron and Carbon. Various steels contain different compounds of the two plus other material to create different alloys.


How many different kinds of atoms are in a steel can?

Steel is primarily Iron and Carbon. However, other elements can be present in different alloys, such as the following:ManganeseChromiumnickelirontungstenmolybdenumborontitaniumvanadiumCobaltniobiumphosphorussulfursilicontraces of oxygen, nitrogen, and copper


What are two processes that form two different oxides?

Combustion: In combustion, oxygen combines with a substance to form an oxide. For example, in the combustion of carbon, carbon dioxide (CO2) is formed. Rusting: When iron is exposed to oxygen and moisture, it forms iron oxide (rust) through a process known as corrosion.


Why can I not get pure iron metal?

SigmaAldrich sells pure iron in many different forms. Given that, the alloy of carbon and iron that we call steel is far more common for two reasons: iron picks up carbon during smelting (the second phase of iron production is to burn off the excess carbon) and steel is a far more useful metal than iron.


What are the two elements that make up iron?

Iron is, itself, and element. It is not a compound of two elements.


Why aren't diamands and graphite considered to be the same mineral?
