Question

mixture of iron and sulphur can be seperated by a magnet but an iron sulphide cannot be seperated by a magnet why ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Iron particles in a mixture of iron and sulphur are attracted by a magnet. ... But iron sulphide is a compound formed from iron and sulphur. The properties of the constituent elements are lost when a compound is formed. So, the iron particles in iron sulphide are not attracted by a magnet.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because iron filings are attracted to the magnet but sulfur is not. This proves that the mixture is not yet a compound, and is a mixture, as it can be separated by physical means.
