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.

How many subatomic particles make up iron atoms?
The typical amount of particles in the nucleus of an iron atom is 56, in the isotope 56Fe which in nature is about 91.7% of iron atoms. 54Fe (5.8%), 57Fe(2.2%) and 58Fe(.28%) making up the balance.
