Physical Properties
Through neutron diffraction studies at low temperatures, Iron(II) fluoride is antiferromagnetic. Heat capacity was measured over a temperature range 12-300 K. At temperature 78.3 K a thermal anomalie occurred. This thermal anomalie can be explained as Iron(II) fluoride passing from its disordered paramagnetic state to a more ordered antiferromagnetic state.
The vapor species were identified between 965 and 1149 K. Using mass spectrometry the heat of sublimation was experimentally determined and averaged to be 75.56 ± 0.23kcal. mole−1. The following reaction was proposed in order to calculate the atomization energy for Fe+:
- FeF2 + e → Fe+ +F2(or 2F) + 2e

“Dance is bigger than the physical body. ...When you extend your arm, it doesn’t stop at the end of your fingers, because you’re dancing bigger than that; you’re dancing spirit.”
—Judith Jamison (b. 1943)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
