is the common name for the element Fe?

  1. Copper

  2. Silver

  3. Iron

  4. Gold

The correct answer is: Iron

The common name for the element Fe is Iron. Copper is incorrect because copper is commonly known as an orange-red metal. Silver can be ruled out because its element symbol is Ag. Gold is also incorrect as it has a different symbol, Au. Iron is often called by its symbol, Fe, so it may not be immediately obvious to those not familiar with the periodic table. However, in scientific circles and in everyday use, it is known as Iron.
