WOW, posts like this are why I dont argue on the internet, carry on.
"There is no such thing as molecules in steel. Steel is a crystaline structure of iron atoms with differing amounts of alloying elements."
Carbon will combine with many elements that go into the making of steel. So will the element iron. Cobalt is used in some high speed steels. Cobalt will combine with iron, nickel, and sulfur, of which all are elements that comprise different types of steel.
Nitrogen will combine with iron. Oxygen will combine with the elements in steel, causing Iron Oxide, aka rust. Rust has molecules.
So yes, steel is a compound and contains molecules.
