Question

Physical and chemical properties of iron. pls help idek what the question means

Answer 1

Answer:

physical properties:

1. Pure iron greyish white in colour  

2. Iron is a heavy metal. Its density is 7.86 g cm-3.

3. Its melting point is 1539`C.

4. It is highly malleable and ductile.

5. It is ferromagnetic, that is, it becomes strongly magnetised when placed in a magnetic field.

6. It has high tensile strength.

chemical properties:

1. Iron is the 4th most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, and it is an integral chemical element found in the human body.

2. It is placed in the first transition series of the periodic table, and is known to be an important transition metal.

3. It mainly exists in the +2 and +3 oxidation states.

4. Iron (II) compounds are known as ferrous, while iron (III) compounds are known as ferric.

5. Iron (II) compounds are light green in color, while iron (III) compounds are orange/brown in color.

6. Iron is the only naturally occurring substance that has magnetic properties. Magnetism is, in fact, one of its most remarkable properties.

hope it helps :)))

Answer 2

Explanation:

Iron, like other metals, conducts heat and electricity, has a luster, and forms positive ions in its chemical reactions. Pure iron is fairly soft and can easily be shaped and formed when hot. Its color is silvery white. Iron is easily magnetized.
