Iron (Fe) is a ferromagnetic metal.

Iron forging was invented around 1150 BC. Iron is much stronger than bronze. It was used in construction before steel. The Eiffel Tower and Golden Gate Bridge are made of iron, as is the Iron Pillar of Delhi. Iron oxidizes in water. Iron oxides are called rust. It is one of magnetic elements (nickel and cobalt are the others). Iron is used to make steel, along with carbon and other metals. It is the most common element of the Earth's core.

Iron is found in red blood cells in the form of hemoglobin.

Mention of iron is found in numerous Bible quotes such as: Iron sharpens iron. --Proverbs 27:17

+'''Iron''' (Fe) is a [[ferromagnetic]] [[metal]].
+Iron forging was invented around 1150 BC. Iron is much stronger than [[bronze]].
+It was used in [[construction]] before [[steel]]. The [[Eiffel Tower]] and [[Golden Gate Bridge]] are made of iron, as is the [[Iron Pillar of Delhi]].
+Iron [[oxidize]]s in water. Iron oxides are called [[rust]].  It is one of magnetic elements ([[nickel]] and [[cobalt]] are the others). Iron is used to make steel, along with carbon and other metals. It is the most common element of the Earth's core.
-'''Iron''' is a [[metal]].
+Iron is found in [[red blood cell]]s in the form of [[hemoglobin]].
-It can be dug up straight out of the ground and used without much trouble. This allowed early man to discover it early, during the [[Iron Age]] in fact.
+Mention of iron is found in numerous [[Bible]] quotes such as: ''Iron sharpens iron.''  --''Proverbs 27:17
-Iron [[weapon]]s were far better than ones made of softer metals, like [[bronze]]. A [[sword|swordsman]] with an iron sword could cut a bronze sword in half if his enemy tried to block him with it.
+{{Periodic table}}
-Iron was also used in [[construction]]. The [[Eiffel Tower]] and [[Golden Gate Bridge]] are both made of iron. The strength of iron meant that [[engineers]] could build much bigger structures with it than with stone.

-When iron [[corrosion|corrodes]] it is called [[rust]]. Corrosion on other metals is not called rust.
-Iron is also a component of [[red blood cell]]s in the form of [[hemoglobin]].
