'''Iron''' (Fe) is a [[ferromagnetic]] [[metal]].

Iron forging was invented around 1150 BC. Iron is much stronger than [[bronze]].
It was used in [[construction]] before [[steel]]. The [[Eiffel Tower]] and [[Golden Gate Bridge]] are made of iron, as is the [[Iron Pillar of Delhi]].
Iron [[oxidize]]s in water. Iron oxides are called [[rust]]. It is one of magnetic elements ([[nickel]] and [[cobalt]] are the others). Iron is used to make steel, along with carbon and other metals. It is the most common element of the Earth's core.

Iron is found in [[red blood cell]]s in the form of [[hemoglobin]].

Mention of iron is found in numerous [[Bible]] quotes such as: ''Iron sharpens iron.'' --''Proverbs 27:17

{{Element | name=Titanium | symbol=Ti | anumber=22 | amass=47.9 amu | noe=22 | class=Transition metal | cstructure=Hexagonal | color=Silver | date=1791 | discname=[[William Gregor]] | origname=From the Greek word ''titanos'' (Titans) | uses=Paint, rubber, paper, areospace | obtained=Minerals (ilmenite, rutile} | Melting point=5949 deg. Fahrenheit}}

'''Titanium''' is a [[metal]]lic [[element]] which is notable for having the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal and for its incredible resistance to corrosion. These properties have led the metal to become a material of choice for aerospace applications.

'''Actinium''' is a very rare [[radioactive]] chemical [[element]]. It is silvery-white and glows blue in the dark. <ref>[[Encylopaedia Britannica]] online, [http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9003601/actinium ''Actinium'']</ref>

{{Element | name=Americium | symbol=Am | anumber=95 | amass=243.0 amu | noe=95 | class=Inner Transitional Metal | cstructure=Hexagonal | color=Unknown | date=1945 | discname=[[G. T. Seaborg]] | origname=Americium is named after [[America]]. | uses=In smoke detectors | obtained=Man-made }}

'''Americium''' (Am) is a man-made [[radioactive]] chemical [[element]]. The first isotope of americium (Am-241) was created in 1944 at the [[University of Chicago]]. Americium is commonly used in [[smoke detector]]s. It melts at 4725 degrees Fahrenheit.

Element

SKinney:

An '''element''' is a single type of [[atom]] as defined by its [[atomic number]], which is the number of [[protons]] in its [[nucleus]].<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Physical Science''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1999, 2000</ref> In contrast, a single element may have varying [[mass number]]s, relating to the number of neutrons in its nucleus.

The element [[hydrogen]] has only one proton whereas the element [[uranium]] has 92, and there are elements with even more protons than that. However, uranium is the largest of the stable elements occurring in nature.

All known elements are listed on the [[periodic table]], with the ones with more protons than uranium produced in a laboratory. Joining atoms of the same or different elements produces chemical [[compound]]s. The elements and their compounds make up all matter on the earth and quite possibly all matter outside of the earth as well.
