1. Pure Iron

   • Propierties
     • Greyish white colour. Good magnetic propierties: Only melts at high temperatures;difficult to machine, fragie and brittle.
       • Pure iron is a silver-colored metal that conducts heat and electricity well.
         • Iron is too reactive to exist alone so it only occurs naturally in the earth's crust as iron ores, such as hematite, magnetite, and siderite.
   • Uses
     • Rarely used. Used in electronics and electricals components
