Ferrofluid is a liquid that is attracted to the poles of a magnet. It is a colloidal liquid made of nanoscale ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid (usually an organic solvent or water). [1] Each magnetic particle is thoroughly coated with a surfactant to inhibit clumping. Large ferromagnetic particles can be ...

The adjective ferrous or the prefix ferro-is often used to specify such compounds, as in ferrous chloride for iron(II) chloride (FeCl 2). The adjective ferric is used instead for iron(III) salts, containing the cation Fe 3+. The word ferrous is derived from the Latin word ferrum, meaning "iron".
Ferrous citrates are produced by treating disodium citrate Na 2 C 6 H 6 O 7 with sources of iron(II) aquo complexes, such as iron(II) sulfate. [5] [2] Ferrous citrates are all highly unstable in air, converting to ferric citrates. It is a nutrient supplement approved by the FDA. [6] [7]
Iron(II) oxide or ferrous oxide is the inorganic compound with the formula FeO. Its mineral form is known as wüstite . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] One of several iron oxides , it is a black-colored powder that is sometimes confused with rust , the latter of which consists of hydrated iron(III) oxide (ferric oxide).
Iron(III) phosphate, also ferric phosphate, [4] [5] is the inorganic compound with the formula Fe PO 4.Four polymorphs of anhydrous FePO 4 are known. Additionally two polymorphs of the dihydrate FePO 4 ·(H 2 O) 2 are known.
Iron shows the characteristic chemical properties of the transition metals, namely the ability to form variable oxidation states differing by steps of one and a very large coordination and organometallic chemistry: indeed, it was the discovery of an iron compound, ferrocene, that revolutionalized the latter field in the 1950s.

Iron(II) fluoride or ferrous fluoride is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula FeF 2. It forms a tetrahydrate FeF 2 ·4H 2 O that is often referred to by the same names. The anhydrous and hydrated forms are white crystalline solids.
