As a metallic element has other elements combined to it, it takes on various properties.\n\nSteel is primarily a combination of Iron and carbon.  The properties of steel are caused not only by the percent of other elements but at what temperature the steel has reached and how fast it has been cooled.

since,wateris a compound and a compound can never show the properties of its constituents.that's why water neither burns itself nor supports combustion.similar example is of iron fillings and sulphur.when we make a mixture of them,they do show their their properties But when a chemical reaction occurs and they together make ironsulphate,the new substanse doesn't show their properties that is ironsulphate is not attracted by magnet.

d) bond to carbon\n\nThis nonmetal has the interesting chemical property of being able to bond with itself and a wide variety of other elements, forming nearly ten million known compounds.

They r in group 1 of the periodic table. They have 1 electron in the outermost shell and form alkalies when dissolved in water.They have all the properties of metals except that they have low densities and are soft that can bet cut by a blunt knife.

Chemical properties of matter are those that relate to how the substance changes in composition or how it interacts with other substances.\nSome examples of chemical properties are: \npaper burns \niron rusts \ngold does not rust \nwood rots \nnitrogen does not burn \nsilver does not react with water \nsodium reacts with water \nIn each of these, the substance's chemical property is its tendency to:\nreact \ntarnish \ncorrode \nexplode

Traditionally, metals have certain characteristic physical properties: they are usually shiny (they have "lustre"), have a high density, are ductile and malleable, usually have a high melting point, are usually hard, and conduct electricity and heat well. However this is mainly because the low density, soft, low melting point metals happen to be reactive, and we rarely encounter them in their elemental, metallic form. Metals are also sonorous, which means that they conduct sound well.\n\nAnd not all metals are magnetic!\n\nPalladium is a soft silver-white metal that resembles platinum. It doesn't tarnish in air. Palladium is the least dense and has the lowest melting point of the platinum group metals. It is soft and ductile when annealed and greatly increases its strength and hardness when it is cold-worked. Palladium is chemically attacked by sulfuric and nitric acid but dissolves slowly in hydrochloric acid. This metal also does not react with oxygen at normal temperatures.

Well, iron is a metal that doesn't contain carbon. Both are elements i.e. substances that can't be broken down into simpler substances by a chemical reaction. Most of the known elements in the universe are metals eg. aluminium, gold, copper, but the non-metals are more abundant eg. oxygen, hydogen. They are termed metals because of their structure and the way in which they bond to other elements. Maybe by metal you meant metal alloy. Steel is an alloy (mixture) of iron and carbon. I think all alloys of iron have some carbon in them. Don't know if this is what you meant but it was good trying to think about an answer.

Iron is usually attracted to a magnet. If a bar of iron is magnetized, One end of the bar will attract one pole of the magnet, and repel the other pole of the magnet. \nCopper, nickel, and zinc are not magnetic. They neither attract or repel a magnet, and they cannot be magnetized.

Iron (like steel and certain alloys) contains atomic magnets or dipoles which can line up their 'magnetic axes' in a preferred direction.  In the magnetized state, all the magnetic axes will point in one specific direction, by which the iron filling will show polarity and hence be a magnet itself.\nWhen you heat the iron fillings, the high temperature makes the atoms to vibrate with increasing energy and this disturbs the dipoles and so the resultant magnetic axes point in their 'preferred' random directions, which keep changing due to the extra energy. If the iron fillings were magnetized before heating, all the magnetism would be lost. Magnetizing them after heating will not align the vigorously vibrating atomic magnets and rapidly changing magnetic axes.

iron ore (magnetite or lodestone), cobalt, and nickel, as well the rare earth metals gadolinium and dysprosium (when at a very low temperature). \n\nThat'll about do it... \n\n\nest is mein vergnugen.

I'll show you how to do one; then you'll know how to do the rest:\n\na. On the periodic table, find the atomic weight for both Fe and O.\nFe = 55.845, O = 15.9994\nMultiply by the number of atoms of each in each molecule of Fe2O3 to get the molecular mass (the mass, in grams, of one mole of the compound) of Fe2O3:\n2(55.845) + 3(15.9994) = 159.6882\nDivide 150 by this number to get the number of moles:\n150/159.6882 = 0.939 moles

Answer:  SIX electrons\n\nI drew a diagram for you: http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=untitled.34c.JPG\n\nElectron Configuration of Fe: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6 \n\nExplanation:  As you can see in the electron configuration above, there are 6 electrons in 3d orbitals of Fe in its ground state.

Fe + H2O2 --->\n\n4Fe + 3H2O2 --->2Fe2O3 + 3H2\n\nRust forms and hydrogen is the gas that evolves.
