What is nail element or compound?
Nails are made up of a protein called keratin, which is a structural building block in our bodies. They are not considered an element or compound in themselves, but a biological structure made up of various elements like carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur that combine to form the protein keratin.
When an iron nail is put into a copper-sulphate solution there is a displacement reaction what does this mean?
A displacement reaction occurs when a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound. In this case, iron is more reactive than copper and displaces it in the copper-sulphate solution to form iron sulphate and copper metal.

Iron nail electromagnet why is it magnetic?
When an electric current flows through a coil of wire wound around an iron nail, it induces a magnetic field in the nail. This is because the nail becomes magnetized due to the alignment of its magnetic domains. The iron nail retains its magnetic properties as long as the current continues to flow through the coil.
What type of change rusting of nail?
It's an oxidation reaction forming iron oxide (rust). Basically: iron + oxygen = iron oxide Iron, (Fe) is an element and react easily with the element Oxygen (O2) the resultant material is a compound known as rust or iron oxide, (FeO2) this proces is known as oxidization.
Why is an iron nail not a mineral?
An iron nail is not a mineral because it is a man-made object produced through industrial processes. Minerals occur naturally in the Earth's crust and have a specific chemical composition and crystalline structure. Since an iron nail does not meet these criteria, it is not considered a mineral.
Why does an iron nail rust?
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
