  2. Flux method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_method

    The flux method is a crystal growth method where starting materials are dissolved in a solvent (flux), and are precipitated out to form crystals of a desired compound. The flux lowers the melting point of the desired compound, analogous to a wet chemistry recrystallization. [1]

  3. Iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron

    As such, iron is the most abundant element in the core of red giants, and is the most abundant metal in iron meteorites and in the dense metal cores of planets such as Earth. [29] It is also very common in the universe, relative to other stable metals of approximately the same atomic weight.

  4. Rieke metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rieke_metal

    The use of highly reactive metals in chemical synthesis was popularized in the 1960s. One development in this theme is the use of metal vapor synthesis, as described by Skell, [citation needed] Timms, [11] Ozin, [citation needed] and others. All of these methods relied on elaborate instrumentation to vaporize the metals, releasing an atomic ...

  5. Ferrous - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrous

    Iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate, FeCl 2 ·4H 2 O. In chemistry, iron(II) refers to the element iron in its +2 oxidation state. 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+.

  6. Roussin's red salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roussin's_red_salt

    Roussin's red salt is the inorganic compound with the formula K 2 [Fe 2 S 2 (NO) 4]. This metal nitrosyl was first described by Zacharie Roussin in 1858, making it one of the first synthetic iron-sulfur clusters .

  7. Green rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_rust

    Green rust is a generic name for various green crystalline chemical compounds containing iron(II) and iron(III) cations, the hydroxide (OH −) anion, and another anion such as carbonate (CO 2− 3), chloride (Cl −), or sulfate (SO 2− 4), in a layered double hydroxide (LDH) structure. The most studied varieties are the following: [1]

  8. Ferrous metallurgy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrous_metallurgy

    Iron meteorites consist overwhelmingly of nickel-iron alloys. The metal taken from these meteorites is known as meteoric iron and was one of the earliest sources of usable iron available to humans. Iron was extracted from iron–nickel alloys, which comprise about 6% of all meteorites that fall on the Earth.

  9. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    A metal and a non-metal, e.g., Ca + Cl 2 → CaCl 2; A base and an acid anhydride, e.g., 2 NaOH + Cl 2 O → 2 NaClO + H 2 O; An acid and a base anhydride, e.g., 2 HNO 3 + Na 2 O → 2 NaNO 3 + H 2 O; In the salt metathesis reaction where two different salts are mixed in water, their ions recombine, and the new salt is insoluble and ...
