Iron is a hard metal. Its colour is black. It can be melted by heat, and then moulded into different shapes. It is rolled into bars, plates and sheets, and then used for various purposes.
Iron is found in many parts of the world, such as Spain, America, India etc. When raised from mines, particles of iron are found to be mixed up with all sorts of things. It is, therefore, called 'ore'. Iron is separated from the impure substances contained in ores, and made fit for extraction in the furnace...

A ver short note on iron
==> Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is by mass the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Its abundance in rocky planets like Earth is due to its abundant production by fusion in high-mass stars, where it is the last element to be produced with release of energy before the violent collapse of a supernova, which scatters the iron into space.
