Atomic Number of Iron (+ facts: Uses, Color and more...) 2022

Every atom has an atomic number, even Iron. But what is an "Atomic Number"?
The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.
Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Iron (That most people don't know).

Iron Overview

Atomic Number

26

Learn more about the atomic number.

Atomic Symbol

Fe (Iron)

Description

Malleable, ductile, silvery-white metal. Fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust (56,300 ppm). Ninth most abundant element in the universe.

State at 20 °C

Solid

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

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.

Discovery

Discovered By: Known to the ancients.
Year: Unknown
Location: Unknown

Name Origin

Anglo-Saxon: iron; symbol from Latin: ferrum (iron).

Atomic Mass

55,847
