Iron (ferrum) changes into ferric iron through oxidation, where iron atoms lose electrons to form Fe^3+ ions. This transformation involves the iron transitioning from a 2+ oxidation state to a 3+ oxidation state by losing one more electron. The process can occur through reactions with oxygen or other oxidizing agents.
