There are 4 stable diifferent atoms of iron (isotopes), all having 26 protons. (The atomic number of iron is 26)
These isotopes differ in Atomic Mass, ranging from 54, 56, 57 and 58.
Isotope Fe(56) is the most abundant in nature: 92%
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the isotope
So the answer is: 28, 30, 31 and 32 neutronsrespectively

How many neutrons are present in the nuclei of an iron atoms?
The number of neutrons in an atom of a certain element varies from one isotope of that element to another. Iron has stable isotopes Fe-54, Fe-56, Fe-57 and Fe-58 Fe-54 has 28 neutrons, Fe-56 has 30 neutrons, Fe-57 has 31 neutrons and Fe-58 has 32 neutrons.
What particle has 26 electrons 29 neutrons and 26 protrons?
An elemental iron (Fe) atom. The number of protons determines the element's identity, and the number of electrons determines its valence state.
Is a iron garden gate a compound element or mixture?
it is a element because iron is made up of one type of atom and is found on the periodic table.
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 do you find the number of protons and neutrons in an element?
iron
What are the subatomic particles of iron?
An atom of iron would have pretty much the same subatomic particles as most other atoms - protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are made up of more fundamental particles, quarks. The defining factor that makes it iron is that it would have 26 protons; in a neutral iron atom that would mean it would have 26 electrons. Different isotopes of iron might have differing numbers of neutrons, about 92% of iron is Fe-56 which has 30 neutrons.
What element has 30 neutrons?
The element comes with 30 neutrons is iron. It also has 26 protons.
Is fe an atom?
They are elements not compound mixture
Why iron is heavy while sodium is light?
The density of an element depends on the number of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the atom nucleus.
Why is iron heavy while sodium is light?
The density of an element depends on the number of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the atom nucleus.
How many neutrons are present in the nuclei of an iron atoms?
The number of neutrons in an atom of a certain element varies from one isotope of that element to another. Iron has stable isotopes Fe-54, Fe-56, Fe-57 and Fe-58 Fe-54 has 28 neutrons, Fe-56 has 30 neutrons, Fe-57 has 31 neutrons and Fe-58 has 32 neutrons.
How many neutrons are present in atom of iron 54?
The isotope iron-54 has 28 neutrons.
What particle has 26 electrons 29 neutrons and 26 protrons?
An elemental iron (Fe) atom. The number of protons determines the element's identity, and the number of electrons determines its valence state.
Does a sodium atom have fewer neutrons in its nucleus than an iron atom?
Yes. Sodium has 12 neutrons whereas iron has 30 neutrons for their most stable isotpe.
Why is sodium light while iron is heavy?
The density of an element depends on the number of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the atom nucleus.
What is the mass number of an iron atom that has neutrons?
Mass number (of an isotope) is number of neutrons PLUS number of protons (this equals the atom number, which is 26 for element Fe) , so 28 + 26 = 54 is the mass number
Is a iron garden gate a compound element or mixture?
it is a element because iron is made up of one type of atom and is found on the periodic table.
