Like many elements its symbol is derived from its ancient (Latin) name; in this case ferrous or ferric.
The element with 26 protons is iron (Fe).
Iron (Fe): atomic number 26 and of course has 26 protons.
Fe is Iron. It isn't 'Ir' because they got Fe from iron's Latin name, ferum. It also can't be 'Ir' because Ir is already the symbol for another element, iridium.
Fe is the chemical formula for iron. The Latin word for Fe is ferrum.
The symbol Fe on the periodic table represents the element iron. Iron is a transition metal with atomic number 26.
Iron (Fe) is a metal.
The element with the proton number of 26 is Fe, which is Iron
No such symbol as 'FE'. This could be misunderstood as 'F' Fluorine and 'E' an unknown element. If you mean 'Fe'. , then it is Iron. 'Fe' is from the Latin word for iron, which is 'Ferrum'. NB When writing elemental symbols. Single letter symnols are ALWAYS a Capital letter. Two letter symbols are always writeen as ; first letter is a CAPITAL letter, and second letter is always small/lower case. This is the international standard, and as shown in the Periodic Table. Hence iron is 'Fe' NOT 'FE'. There is no element with a single capital letter 'E'.
The element 'FE' represents iron. Hope this helped. -Sean
