Are the atoms in a piece of iron exactly like those in a piece of tin?

Iron has four natural isotopes; isotopes are not identical.

∙ 18y agoNo, because those elements have different atomic weights, meaning that the nuclei have different numbers of protons and neutrons (Tin has more than Iron). However, if those protons and neutrons were examined individually then, according to current theory, they would all appear alike.

Process of forming iron-tin alloy - Patent 1487133
and
Kinetics of the Formation of the Iron-Tin Alloy FeSn2
J. Electrochem. Soc., Volume 107, Issue 11, pp. 920-923 (1960)
"The kinetics of the formation of the iron-tin alloy FeSn2 have been studied at temperatures below and above the melting point of tin (232°C). At all temperatures studied, the growth obeyed the parabolic-rate law. This is indicative of a diffusion mechanism."

∙ 12y agoIm not sure but i think tin and iron are different things on the Periodic Table so i dont think they are the same thing , hope i helped :)

What happens to iron placed in a test tube with a stopper?
Iron and oxygen in a test tube alone will not react (observed by placing a piece of iron in a test tube with a stopper).Iron and water in a test tube alone will not react (observed by completely submerging a piece of iron in water in a test tube with a stopper).Iron, water and oxygen in a test tube will react (observed by placing a piece of iron in a test tube and submerging half of it with water). The following reaction will take place: iron + water + oxygen ----> hydrated iron(III) oxide. Hydrated iron(III) oxide is the chemical name for rust, which will appear as orange flaking on the piece of iron. To speed up this reaction you can use a bit of salt as a catalyst.
What is function of iron stand?
The iron stand is used as a piece of laboratory equipment. It is meant to support an iron ring in order to hold items like beakers and flasks during heating.
How do magnets stick to iron shavings?
The iron shavings get temporarily magnetized, due to the influence of the magnet. Thus, you have two magnets attracting each other - the original magnet, and a piece of iron shaving.
How do the particles behave in the reaction between iron and sulphur?
The iron atoms absorb enough energy to lose three electrons each and become iron(III) ions. The octa-atomic sulphur molecules absorb enough energy to become sulphur atoms. These atoms each gain two electrons to become sulphide ions with a -2 charge each. Since electrons are conserved, 1½ times as many sulphur atoms so react as do iron atoms. These ions now form a solid and give up energy. The overall process gives up energy (enough so that some of the solid goes off as a smoke).Depending on how far you are in chemistry, you could get by with this explanation, or you could discuss whether the iron(III) sulphide formed is a simple ionic solid as described or something a bit more complicated.
Examples of electromagnetic forces?
In an electric motor the forces that cause the axle to turn are purely electromanetic.
How is an unmagnetized piece of iron different from the same piece of iron when it is magnetized?
An unmagnetized piece of iron has its atoms pointing in different directions, and opposing each other. When the iron is magnetized, the atoms are mostly pointing in the same direction, and the fields add together.
Are the atoms in a piece of iron different from the atoms in a piece of tin?
Yes. Their atomic mass is different, among other things.
How many types of atom are there in a piece of iron?
If its just iron then there is only one type of atom: iron atoms
What best describes the motion on iron atoms in solid iron?
Kinetic energy best describes the motion of the particles in a piece of steel.
What geological material consists of a certain amount of iron atoms and exactly twice the number of sulfur atoms?
The formula of this compound would be FeS2 , this is iron pyrites. Often called fools gold.
How many atoms are in iron?
Electron is monatomic, meaning it is composed of single atoms.
What type of atoms is in iron?
Iron atoms.
Does iron have atoms?
Yes. Everything is made from atoms. Including iron. Iron is an element as well so iron is made up of iron atoms. Iron is Fe on the periodic table.
When iron rusts iron atoms are destroyed True False?
False, iron atoms are converted to iron oxide
How many iron atoms are in 354g of iron?
The answer is 38,174.10ex.23 atoms
Why a piece of iron doesn't behave as a magnet?
It does ONLY if the atoms are lined up properly (and you line them up using a magnetic field).
What geological material consists of a certain number of atoms and exactly twice the number of sulfur atoms?
The formula of this compound would be FeS2 , this is iron pyrites. Often called fools gold.
