Iron comes from the Latin word ferrum. From ferrum its symbol became Fe. The atomic number of iron is 26, and its atomic weight is 55.845. Iron is a magnetic, bendable, shiny white metallic element. Pure iron has a hardness that ranges from 4 to 5. It is soft and ductile. Iron can be easily magnetized at ordinary temperatures and at 790?é??C the magnetic property disappears. Pure iron melts at about 1535?é??C, boils at 2750?é??C, and has a specific gravity of 7.86. Chemically, iron is an active metal. When exposed to humid air, iron forms a reddish-brown, flaky, decay known...

Iron is an essential part of a healthy diet. Iron compounds are employed for medicinal purposes in the treatment of anemia, when the amount of hemoglobin or the number of red blood corpuscles in the blood is lowered. Iron is a component of the complex compound in red blood cells called hemoglobin. This substance is responsible for carrying oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body.
In conclusion, iron is one of the most abundant and frequently used elements on Earth. It possesses many desirable traits which make it so useful in everyday life.
Addition polymerisation is the construction of a polymer based upon simple monomer units. These monomers join together in an extremely long chain under the correct conditions of temperature and pressure to become a single polymer chain. Mechanism of the polymerisation of ethane to form LDPE This...

Chemical reactions are the heart of chemistry. People have always known that they exist. The Ancient Greeks were the firsts to speculate on the composition of matter. They thought that it was possible that individual particles made up matter. Later, in the Seventeenth Century, a German chemist named Georg Ernst...
