Question:

What elements does iron react with?

And then what happens when they react as well as what do they create? Is iron dangerous, and how?Thank you so much!

Answer:

quick question? I bought a KN cold air intake for my v6 2013 Camaro 2lt rs, there was a option to buy a intake air scoop kit. Just wondering if this is something that s needed or not? Thanks
ram air forced air cold intake sucks air in
SRI gets it's air from under the hood, CAI gets it's air from below the engine, that's why the air is colder and that's why it's called a cold air intake
Because Iron , in chemical terms, is considered a metal, iron can react with any non metal present in the periodic table. The non metals , in the periodic table, are located on the left side of the bolded line. Examples of non metals are oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine gas etc. Iron itself is not a dangerous compound, but depending on the non metal it reacts with, the reaction can be quite violent or not. If iron were to react with chlorine gas, the reaction would be quite vigorous because chlorine is a unstable element. The way the reaction proceeds is all dependent on the non metal it reacts with. some are more violent then others. The products that forms from the reaction is called a ionic compound or a salt( not to be confused with the salt we put on to food). Ionic compounds are called ionic because when they are put in to water, ions are formed. An example of a iron ionic compound would be from our reaction of iron and chlorine, which would form iron chloride. If iron reacted with nitrogen we would get iron nitride.
