When iron and sulfur are mixed together, they do not form a stable compound. Instead, they remain separate particles in the mixture. When this mixture is added to water, the individual iron and sulfur particles are denser than water, causing them to sink rather than float.

Why is iron and sulfur mixture but not compound?

If you just mix iron and sulphur together, you're still left with a pile of iron and sulphur that are distinctly separate and could be easily separated by throwing the mixture in water (iron sinks, sulphur powder floats). If they were to react together, to become iron sulphide, then they would be chemically bound to each other as a compound and wouldn't be able to be separated by physical means.
