• Magnetite Description:

Magnetite is a natural magnet, hence the name, giving it a very nice distinguishing characteristic. Magnetite is a member of the spinel group which has the standard formula A(B)2O4. The A and B represent different metal ions that occupy specific sites in the crystal structure. In the case of magnetite, Fe3O4, the A metal is Fe +2 and the B metal is Fe +3; two different metal ions in two specific sites. This arrangement causes a transfer of electrons between the different irons in a structured path or vector. This electric vector generates a magnetic field.
