Iron, scientifically known as Fe (ferrum in Latin), is a chemical element that holds symbol Fe and atomic number 26 on the periodic table. The name "iron" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word "iren," which itself stems from the Proto-Germanic word "isarnan," meaning "holy metal." Iron has a long history of human use, dating back to ancient civilizations for its strength and durability in tools and weapons.
General Information about Iron
Iron is a vital mineral essential for various bodily functions, such as transporting oxygen in the blood, supporting energy production, aiding in cell growth and division, and strengthening the immune system. It is considered a micronutrient, meaning it is required by the body in small amounts but plays a crucial role in overall health and well-being. Iron deficiency can lead to anaemia, fatigue, weakness, and impaired cognitive function.
