🔬 Introduction to Elements: Iron and Sulfur
This section introduces the topic of elements, mixtures, and compounds, using examples of iron filings and sulfur. Iron is identified as a metal element, while sulfur is a non-metal element. The atoms of iron are described as being identical and arranged in a solid, regular pattern, whereas sulfur atoms are organized in molecules. Both substances are presented in physical forms, with iron filings having a dark gray, sand-like texture, and sulfur appearing as a yellow powder. Iron's magnetic property is demonstrated using a bar magnet, showing how iron filings are attracted to the magnet, whereas sulfur, being non-magnetic, does not respond to the magnet.
⚙️ Creating a Mixture: Iron Filings and Sulfur
This section discusses the combination of iron filings and sulfur to create a mixture. The iron filings and sulfur, when mixed together, form a yellow-gray mixture. The mixture is not chemically combined, meaning the substances can still be separated, as demonstrated using a magnet to pull out the iron filings. This illustrates the concept of mixtures, where the components retain their individual properties, and in this case, the iron can still be separated from the sulfur using the magnetic property of iron.
🔥 Chemical Reaction: Formation of Iron Sulfide
In this part, the mixture of iron filings and sulfur is heated to initiate a chemical reaction. The heat causes sulfur to melt, allowing it to react with the iron filings, resulting in the formation of a new compound called iron sulfide. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. The process takes place in a fume cupboard to avoid exposure to sulfur dioxide, a poisonous gas. The mixture turns black as the new compound forms, and the reaction is explained as a transformation where the atoms bond together to create a new substance with different properties.
🧲 Testing the Properties of Iron Sulfide
This section focuses on the properties of the newly formed iron sulfide compound. After cooling, it is tested to determine whether it retains the magnetic property of iron. Unlike the original iron filings, the new compound is non-magnetic, indicating that the iron's properties have changed due to its chemical bonding with sulfur. The explanation highlights the key difference between mixtures and compounds: in a compound, the elements are chemically bonded, and the resulting substance has distinct properties from its constituent elements.
📚 Conclusion: Understanding Mixtures vs. Compounds
The video concludes by summarizing the differences between mixtures and compounds. Iron filings and sulfur, when mixed, form a mixture that can be physically separated because no chemical bonds are formed. However, once heated and chemically reacted, the elements form a compound called iron sulfide, where the atoms are chemically bonded and the substance exhibits new properties. The key takeaway is that mixtures can be separated, while compounds have new, distinct characteristics due to the chemical bonding of their atoms.

Transcripts
okay in this video we're going to talk
about elements
mixtures and compounds and we're going
to use some examples
that i have here we've got iron filings
and we've got sulfur now both of these
are elements
found in the periodic table iron is a
metal element
and sulfur is a non-metal element
and each of these are
elements which means they are made of
the same type of atom if you look at
iron here i've represented it with
little black dots
all of the iron atoms are identical and
they're arranged
in a regular pattern they are solid
sulfur
the atoms are actually arranged in
molecules but
you can see the sulfur powder is just a
yellow
powdery substance and the iron filings
you probably would have seen these in dt
the iron filings are like a dark gray
color
small sand like texture
now iron metals
some metals in particular iron is
a magnetic substance in other words it's
attracted to a magnet so i've got here
just a simple bar magnet with the north
and south pole
i'm covering it in the tissue just
because i don't want
my magnet to get covered in iron filings
if i bring it near the iron filings
you should be able to see that the iron
filings
stick to the magnet okay and when i take
the magnet out
those iron filings will all drop back
into the watch glass if i do the same
with the sulfur sulfur is non-magnetic
it is not a metal and it's a
non-magnetic element
i can hold it close over the self in
fact you can see that iron filings and
sulfur
the mixture this has been used for that
mixture before because you can see some
tiny iron filings
attached to the magnet okay but this is
sulfur
and this is iron filings now here
i have iron filings and sulfur
and i've illustrated it here with small
bits of iron and some sulfur
molecules if i mix these together
i now have what's called a mixture
previously i had the separate elements
the iron
there you can see in gray and the sulfur
yellow once i start to mix them together
you end up with a yellowy gray
mixture and i can show you
that a mixture these have not been
combined if i bring my magnet again
wrapped up in my
tissue nearby you can see that i can
separate out
these iron filings and i can begin to do
that if i bring my iron filings back
i can separate out the iron filings just
dip the magnet out
drop them there
and separate some more iron filings
clean them off
drop them there and separate some more
and i can keep going
and sift this out and remove some of the
yellow sulfur
eventually you can see it's a little bit
dirty from some of the impurities
in the iron but eventually
i can remove most of the iron findings
and i can separate these two substances
okay so now what we've done is we've
taken our mixture of iron filings and
sulfur
i've put in a little crucible here and
we've just
mixed it together
i'll show you we've just mixed it
together and what i'm going to do is
pour it
into here and i'm going to get this
mixture of iron filings and sulfur
to start reacting in order for this
reaction to take place
we need it to be heated up
so i'm just heating up this glass rod
so what we're doing here is we have a
mixture of iron filings and sulfur and
i've got a glass rod that i've heated
that i am going to use to get the
reaction started
so if i put that in there you should see
that the sulfur starts to melt
and the reaction will begin we're doing
this reaction in the fume cupboard
because uh sulfur dioxide can be given
off
which is a poisonous gas
so we'd rather that the gas is extracted
but you can see now chemical reactions
starting to take place
as the sulfur reacts
with the iron filings and what we're
doing now is we're forming a compound so
i'm just going to move that
into the fume cupboard now this is
what's called we're going to learn about
them later this is what's called an
exothermic reaction and so when the
reaction starts to
take place heat energy is actually given
out
combustion or burning is an example of
an exothermic reaction
what i've got underneath is asbestos
which
is a fire retardant it will stop it will
prove it won't burn and it'll prevent
the fire from spreading
[Music]
we just need to let the new compound
which is called
iron sulfide what's happened now is the
particles have been rearranged
and have now bonded together there are
chemical bonds holding them together
a new compound is called and we call it
is formed and we call it iron
sulfide we add ide on the end because
it's a new substance
and it has different properties from the
iron
and from the self in fact you'll see
that once this is reacted in the middle
you can't see any of the yellow powder
anymore
and the gray iron filings have become a
black
solid
okay so the iron sulfide compound has
cooled now
and i just wanted to show you we said
that one of the properties of iron
filings
was that it was magnetic and if i hold
this magnet
over the top the iron filings are
attracted
to the magnet um
like that um so
and we said that the sulfur was
non-magnetic
so the new substance that's been formed
the new compound
iron sulfide if let's see if it is
magnetic
we've got a new substance that is not
non-magnetic
because the iron is now part of a
compound
and has new properties because it is a
compound
so hopefully that helps us understand
elements
our iron and our sulfur that we put
together
in a mixture iron filings and sulfur
together
mixed together and
once we heated it and made a chemical
reaction take place
we formed a compound and the difference
between
a mixture and a compound is that the
compound has
chemical bonds between the atoms of
iron and sulfur mixture
can be separated that's all for now
