They are both elemental solids under normal conditions. Other than that, they're quite different. Iron (Fe) is a metal and will form a cation during bonding. Sulfur (S) is a non-metal and will form an anion during bonding. Iron is a good conductor of heat and electricity; sulfur is not. Iron is dark gray in color; sulfur is yellow.

How sulphur can be obtained from a mixture of powdered sulphur and iron fillings?

Sulphur can be obtained from a mixture of powdered sulphur and iron filings by using a magnet. The iron filings, being magnetic, can be attracted and removed from the mixture using a magnet, leaving behind the non-magnetic powdered sulphur. This separation method takes advantage of the differing physical properties of the two substances, allowing for the recovery of sulphur in a pure form.

Why is iron and sulfur mixture but not compound?

If you just mix iron and sulphur together, you're still left with a pile of iron and sulphur that are distinctly separate and could be easily separated by throwing the mixture in water (iron sinks, sulphur powder floats). If they were to react together, to become iron sulphide, then they would be chemically bound to each other as a compound and wouldn't be able to be separated by physical means.

No, the properties of iron and sulfur did not change when they were mixed physically together. Each substance retained its own individual properties as they remained physically mixed but not chemically bonded.


What are the elements of iron sulfide?

If you mean, "What elements make up iron sulphide," then they are Iron and Sulphur. Various 'types' of iron sulphide exist, including FeS (iron (II) sulphide), FeS2 (commonly known as pyrite, iron (II) disulphide or fool's gold), and Fe2S3 (iron (III) sulphide).

What is the mixture of iron and sulphur and how could you get iron from the mixture?

A mixture of iron and sulfur consists of iron filings and sulfur powder, where the two substances retain their individual properties. To separate the iron from the mixture, a magnet can be used; the iron filings will be attracted to the magnet, allowing them to be easily removed from the sulfur. This process takes advantage of the magnetic properties of iron, while sulfur remains unaffected.
