Upper mantle carbonates are magnesium-rich and iron-poor. Under lower mantle conditions, it is thought that the arrangement of electrons in carbonate minerals changes under the pressure stress in such ...

Ionized forms of iron, the most common being iron II and iron III, have varying numbers of electrons as they add or shed electrons when combined with atoms of other elements. "Iron VI is a very rare ...
