First of all, if we know the atom symbol, let's say Fe, we can open any periodic table and search for Iron.
In the case of Iron the answer is 55,847. However there is a lot of funny facts about Iron that most people don't know. Shall we have a look?

Uses
Used in steel and other alloys. Essential for humans. It is the chief constituent of hemoglobin which carries oxygen in blood vessels. Its oxides are used in magnetic tapes and disks.

Sources
Obtained from iron ores. Pure metal produced in blast furnaces by layering limestone, coke and iron ore and forcing hot gasses into the bottom. This heats the coke red hot and the iron is reduced from its oxides and liquified where it flows to the bottom
