A neutral iron atom has 26 electrons. All iron atoms have 26 protons in their nuclei, which is why their atomic atomic number is 26. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge, so a neutral iron atom has 26 protons and 26 electrons.
The electron configuration for this atom is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d64s2. There are 6 d electrons.
26 electron, the atomic number of the element in the periodic table tells us the number of electron in the neutral atom.
2 electrons = ferrous or iron(II) or Fe+23 electrons = ferric or iron(III) or Fe+3
The iron atom loses two(2) electrons to be come the Iron ION. Fe = Fe^(2+) + 2e^- NB An atom , when it becomes a charged spacied , is no longer an atom , but an ION. Positively charged ions are CATIONS Negatively charged ions are ANIONS.
Iron is a metal element. There are 26 electrons in a single atom.

it should lose 3 electrons
If I remember well there are 3.
Helium: 2 electrons Gold: 79 electrons Iron: 26 electrons
Nitrogen is a non metal element. There are 7 electrons in a single atom.
26 electron, the atomic number of the element in the periodic table tells us the number of electron in the neutral atom.
In that reaction, each iron atom loses three electrons.
2 electrons = ferrous or iron(II) or Fe+23 electrons = ferric or iron(III) or Fe+3
