ferreous

IPA: /ˈfɛr.i.əs/

KK: /ˈfɛrɪəs/

adjective

Definition: Describing something that contains or looks like iron.

Example: The ferreous material was used in the construction of the bridge.

ferric

IPA: /ˈfɛrɪk/

KK: /ˈfɛrɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to or containing iron, especially in a form with a higher valence than ferrous compounds.

Example: The ferric oxide was used in the chemical reaction.

ferricyanide

IPA: /ˌfɛrɪˈsaɪənaɪd/

KK: /fɛrɪˈsaɪənaɪd/

noun

Definition: A type of salt that contains a specific chemical group made of iron and cyanide, often used to create blue pigments.

Example: The artist used ferricyanide to create vibrant blue colors in his paintings.

ferriferous

IPA: /ˌfɛrɪˈfɛrəs/

KK: /ˈfɛrɪfərəs/

adjective

Definition: Describing something that contains or produces iron.

Example: The ferriferous rock was rich in iron deposits, making it valuable for mining.

ferrimagnet

IPA: /ˈfɛrɪmæɡnɛt/

KK: /ˈfɛrɪmæɡnɛt/

noun

Definition: A type of material that has magnetic properties, where the magnetic moments of atoms or ions are aligned in opposite directions but do not completely cancel each other out, resulting in a net magnetic moment.

Example: Ferrimagnets are used in various electronic devices due to their unique magnetic properties.

ferrimagnetic

IPA: /ˌfɛrɪmæɡˈnɛtɪk/

KK: /fɛrɪmæɡˈnɛtɪk/

adjective

Definition: Describing a material that has two types of magnetic ions that align in opposite directions, resulting in a net magnetic effect.

Example: Ferrimagnetic materials are often used in magnetic storage devices.

ferrimagnetism

IPA: /ˌfɛrɪˈmæɡnɪˌtɪzəm/

KK: /fɛrɪˈmæɡnɪtɪzəm/

noun

Definition: A type of magnetism where materials have unequal magnetic moments that do not completely cancel each other out, resulting in some overall magnetization even at low temperatures.

Example: Ferrimagnetism is observed in certain materials like magnetite, where the magnetic moments of the atoms are unequal.

ferrite

IPA: /ˈfɛr.aɪt/

KK: /ˈfɛrˌaɪt/

noun

Definition: A type of nonmetallic compound that is usually magnetic and made from iron oxide combined with other oxides. It is used in electronic devices and has high electrical resistivity.

Example: Ferrite materials are commonly used in the production of transformers and inductors.

ferritic

IPA: //fɛˈrɪtɪk//

KK: /fɛrˈɪtɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to a type of iron that has a specific crystal structure, often found in steel and magnetic materials.

Example: The ferritic stainless steel is known for its good corrosion resistance and high strength.

ferrocene

IPA: //ˈfɛrəˌsiːn//

KK: /ˈfɛrəˌsiːn/

noun

Definition: A type of chemical compound made of iron sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl rings, known for its stability and use in various chemical applications.

Example: Ferrocene is often used in research for its unique properties as a metallocene.
