Iron

Description:
Iron, with the CAS number 7439-89-6, is a transition metal and one of the most abundant elements on Earth, primarily found in the Earth's crust and core. It has an atomic number of 26 and is represented by the symbol Fe, derived from the Latin word "ferrum." Iron is known for its metallic luster, malleability, and ductility, making it a versatile material in various applications. It exhibits a high melting point and is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Iron readily oxidizes in the presence of moisture and oxygen, leading to the formation of rust (iron oxide), which can compromise its structural integrity. In terms of chemical behavior, iron can exist in multiple oxidation states, most commonly +2 (ferrous) and +3 (ferric), allowing it to participate in a variety of chemical reactions. Iron is essential for biological systems, particularly in hemoglobin, where it plays a crucial role in oxygen transport in the blood. Its alloys, such as steel, are fundamental in construction and manufacturing due to their strength and durability.
