Question

Write the names of elements from the following symbol: $Fe$

Answer 1

Hint: Chemical symbols are abbreviations used in chemistry for chemical elements, functional groups and chemical compounds. Element symbols for chemical elements normally consist of one or two letters from the Latin alphabet and are written with the first letter capitalised.

Complete answer:
Iron is a chemical element with symbol \[Fe\] (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal that belongs to the first transition series and group 8 of the periodic table. It is by mass the most common element on Earth, right in front of oxygen (\[32.1\% \] and \[30.1\% \], respectively), forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. The melting and boiling points of iron, along with its enthalpy of atomization, are lower than those of the earlier 3d elements from scandium to chromium, showing the decreased contribution of the 3d electrons to metallic bonding as they are attracted more and more into the inert core by the nucleus; however, they are higher than the values for the previous element manganese because that element has a half-filled 3d subshell and consequently its d-electrons are not easily delocalized.

Note:
The iron compounds produced on the largest scale in industry are iron(II) sulfate (\[FeS{O_4}\cdot7{H_2}O\] ) and iron(III) chloride (\[FeC{l_3}\] ). The former is one of the most readily available sources of iron(II), but is less stable to aerial oxidation than Mohr's salt. Iron(II) compounds tend to be oxidized to iron(III) compounds in the air.
