What is the smallest particle of the element iron that can still be classified as iron?
An iron atom is the smallest iron particle that still has the properties of iron.
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 are the properties of the fool's gold?
Fools gold is the common name for Iron Pyrite, which is an iron sulfide mineral formula FeS2 that has a crystalline structure and a goldish metallic lustre. Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite for more detailed information.
Symbol for an atom of iron?
Iron's symbol is Fe.
What is in each molecule of iron oxide contains atom of iron?
yes
What is the molecular structure of iron sulphide?
Iron Sulfide is FeS, meaning that this compound has one iron atom and one sulfur atom. Iron Sulfide is also known as pyrite, or fools gold. The gold color is completely natural, but it is much, much, less heavy than real gold. Another way to find out whether it is real gold or not is to bang it with a hammer. If it shatters instead of bending, it is fool's gold.
Is iron heavier than gold?
Gold has many more protons and neutrons in the nucleus of each atom than iron does. So each gold atom weighs almost four times as much as each iron atom. The extra electrons in the gold atoms do make the atom a little bigger than an iron atom, but not a whole lot. So there are nearly as many gold atoms as iron atoms per volume, but each gold atom weighs a lot more. So gold ends up denser.
Which atom has the greatest number of electrons out of these helium gold or iron?
Helium: 2 electrons Gold: 79 electrons Iron: 26 electrons
What is the smallest particle of the element iron that can still be classified as iron?
An iron atom is the smallest iron particle that still has the properties of iron.
Iron nail electromagnet why is it magnetic?
Iron nail is magnetic because it is made up of the element iron. The structure of an iron atom exhibit a unique magnetic behavior which is called ferromagnetism.
Why a block of gold is more dense than a block of iron of equal size?
since gold has way more protons and neutrons in it's nucleus in each atom.
How many protons are in each atom of iron?
There are 26 protons in the atom of iron.
Is fe an atom?
They are elements not compound mixture
How many types of atom are there in a piece of iron?

What makes an iron atom have a greater mass than an aliminium atom?
The amount of protons in the nucleus of an iron atom is greater than in that of an aluminum atom.
Is an atom of iron the same the same as atom of oxygen?
An atom of iron has 26 protons. An atom of oxygen has 8 protons. The atoms are significantly different.
