The metal that built civilization — forming earth's core, rusting in rain, carrying oxygen in hemoglobin.
Iron is the most abundant element by mass in Earth. Its BCC structure at room temperature becomes FCC above 912°C. Iron in hemoglobin carries oxygen in blood. Rust (iron oxide) has shaped history — the Bronze Age yielded to the Iron Age when smelting was mastered.
