Meaning
Iron is a transition metal element, on the Periodic Table, with an atomic number of 26.
About Iron
Molecular Structure
- Iron has the chemical symbol Fe.
- Iron atoms join together in large numbers to form a giant metal molecule.
Atomic Structure
- Iron as 26 protons and 30 neutrons in its nucleus giving it an Atomic Number of 26 and an atomic mass of 56.
- Iron is in Period 4 of the Periodic Table because it has 4 electron shells.
Properties
- Iron is a metal element so it is a good thermal conductor and a good electrical conductor.
- Iron is a shiny solid at room temperature.
- Iron is malleable.
- Iron is sonorous.
- Iron is ductile.
