Question:

chemical properties of iron?

list least two please like how the iron reacts when itz working w#92; water and oxygen

Answer:

-iron is a metal, highly conductive because of metallic bonds holding it together -iron is oxidized by oxygen to form Rust (Fe2O3) (water isn't part of the chemical reaction however water acts as almost a catalyst, causing the reaction to occur between oxygen and iron) -iron has high melting/boiling points -in redox reactions iron is likely to be oxidized than reduced
