o What is the name and symbol of your element?
The name of my element is called Iron. The symbol for my element is Fe.
o Where does the name of the element come from? How was it named? The chemical symbol for Iron, Fe comes from the Latin name for the element, ferrum.
o Where is the element found/how isolated?
The element can be found in the earths crust and also in the sun, asteroids and stars. It isn't very isolated. Iron can be found in China, Russia, Brazil, Canada, Australia, and India.
o Why is the element important?
This element is very important because the number of commercial products made of iron and steel is very large indeed. The uses of these two materials can generally be classified into about eight large groups, including (1) automotive; (2) construction; (3) containers, packaging, and shipping; (4) machinery and industrial equipment; (5) rail transportation; (6) oil and gas industries; (7) electrical equipment; and (8) appliances and utensils.
