Key Stage 2

Meaning

Iron is a magnetic metal.

Key Stage 3

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

Atomic Structure

The most stable isotope of Iron has 30 neutrons in its nucleus giving it an atomic mass of 56.
Iron is in Period 4 of the Periodic Table because it has 4 electron shells.
Iron loses electrons to form positive metal ions.

Properties

Iron forms ionic bonds with non-metals.
Iron is a metal element so it is a good thermal conductor and a good electrical conductor.
Iron is a shiny solid at standard temperature and pressure and has a high melting point.
Iron is malleable.
Iron is sonorous.
Iron is ductile.
Iron is magnetic.
