What is iron ore?

What are the chemical symbols of chromite and iron ore?

  • I know chromium is Cr while Iron is Fe. How about chromite and iron ore?

  • Answer:

    Chromite is iron magnesium chromium oxide: (Fe,Mg)Cr2O4 Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in colour from dark grey to rusty red. The iron itself is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3), limonite or siderite.

Chromite is a mineral, with the formula Fe2+Cr2O4 (the 2+ is superscript, while the next 2 and 4 are sub-scripts) or Fe++Cr2O4. Iron Ore is rich in Iron Oxides (like Magnetite - Fe3O4, and Hematite - Fe2O3).

Fe for iron as you can see it from the element table in chemistry and Cr for chromium but not very sure what you mean for chromite never heard in all the years i have been studying chemistry.
