Hello fellow elements!

In todays blog post I am going to talk some more about ME! Namely, my physical and chemical properties.

The Physical Properties of Iron:
Color - Silver-gray (like a metal)
State of Matter - Solid
Luster - Can have a shine or glow
Conductivity - Can transmit heat or electricity
Ductility - Easily pulled or stretched to create a thin wire

Malleability - Can be shaped or bent
Freezing Point - 1,538 °C (same as it's melting point)

Melting Point - 1,538 °C
Boiling Point - 2,862 °C

Density - 7.874 grams per cubic centimeter
  

The Chemical Properties of Iron:
Chemical Formula - Fe
Solubility - Dissolves in acids
Oxidation - Combines with the oxygen in moist air to produce iron oxide a.k.a. rust
Toxicity - Non toxic
Reactivity with water - Reacts with hot water and steam (water and air) which produces hydrogen gas
