The Origin Of IRON ?

Society Religion & Philosophy
1

First I read somewhere that iron is not an element of this planet.

Then read about the mention of iron in Quran, in which Allah say(~)‘I descent iron upon you, in which there is lot of strength and benefits for you’

The explanation again said that scientists came to know that iron came from some other place in galaxy(planet or commet).

Then again I did found an article which explained this phenomina.
Something like
The energy required to form iron molecules or atoms was never present on earth so it is not a native element of this planet…

Now what is confusing part is that iron(in my knowledge) is not present in pure form in nature. It is always in form of compound like iron sulfied or something like that. Iron is present all around the world.

So can anyone expain this puzzle ?

“When a star that has sufficient mass to produce iron does so, it can no longer produce energy in its core and a supernova will ensue.”

Through repeated chemical reactions within suns, the nuclear materials change. Hydrogen to Helium, and so on, until the core all reacts into Iron. After that, it’s the end of the star. Gold also comes from this fusion.

Yes, as I understand it, every element on our planet was once formed from distant stars (not including of course synthetic elements). You may also want to look into Cambrian age Banded Iron Formations (BIF) as natural occurrences of Fe.

The centre of the earth is composed of liquid iron, creating the magnetic field.

All of the elements were created and were floating around in space following God doing the big bang. The force called gravity that God created brought together these elements into clumps called planets, moons, stars and other celestial bodies.

The kind of energy needed to create any kind of element never existed on earth, and only came into being following mankind being able to harness the power of the atoms to change elements from one into another. Element creation is not a planetary natural process... it can only occur in a nuclear reaction such as a star or a man-made nuclear reactor. Even then, all that happens is that one element changes into another.

And iron never exists in its pure form in nature, because it is too reactive to do so. That is why, if you leave a pure iron bar out in the open, it will eventually turn to rust - an iron compound. Pure, liquid iron does, however, exist in the earth's core.

Thank you guys for the information.

So all the elements are produced in stars. Quite interesting all different elements were produced by nuclear fussion or fission, yet they are so much different in their properties

[QUOTE]
The nucleus of iron has the highest binding energy per nucleon, so it is the heaviest element that is produced exothermically through fusion and the lightest through fission. When a star that has sufficient mass to produce iron does so, it can no longer produce energy in its core and a supernova will ensue.

Well, not all. On some periodic tables, you can sometimse see which elements are synthetic, ie made in reactions first created by man.
