The number of protons in the nucleus will always be the same, and therefore so will the number of electrons. The number of neutrons may vary, forming naturally occurring isotopes.
Every atom of iron will have the same physical properties.

What is the difference between iron and iron oxide?
Iron is a grayish metal made entirely of neutral iron (Fe) atoms. It is a pure element. There are three main variants of iron oxide, all of which are compounds containing iron and oxygen in the form of ions. Iron III oxide (Fe2O3) contains Fe3+ ions and O2- ions and is a reddish powdery or flaky substance. It is the main component of rust. Iron II Oxide (FeO) contains Fe2+ ions and O2- ions and is a black crystalline solid. Iron II,III oxide (Fe3O4) contains Fe 2+, Fe 3+, and O2- ions and is usually a black, powdery substance.
How many ions does sodium have?
All sodium atoms, whether or not they are ions have 11 protons.
Why do all states of matter have molecules?
All states of matter do not necessarily have molecules. The noble gases consist of individual atoms, and ionic compounds consist of ions, or formula units. All states of matter must contain atoms, molecules, or ions, because matter is made of atoms, molecules, and ions.
What does all atoms are nuetral mean?
Atoms are electrically neutral if they have an equal number of protons and electrons. Atoms that have either a deficit or a surplus of electrons are called ions.
What do all electrolytes have in common?
They have mobile ions in solution

Are iron atoms small or big?
Like all atoms they are tiny. Compared with other atoms, iron atoms are of medium size.
How many ions does sodium have?
All sodium atoms, whether or not they are ions have 11 protons.
Are ions found in many different substances?
All atoms can become ions, but in most it is rare
Why do all states of matter have molecules?

What are some exmple on the periodic table that are neutral atoms?
All the atoms are neutral. Only ions have an electrical charge.
Name some of the metal ions?
All metals can be ions. Therefore the name of any metal can be the name of it's element and it's ion. Eg: iron in iron sulphide.
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.
Is most atoms have more electrons than proton false or true?
False, all atoms have the same no of electrons and protons. Negative ions have more electrons. Positive ions have fewer electrons.
What subatomic particles are related to ions?
Protons and neutrons with no electrons are an-ions. Electron superior atoms are considered Cat-ions. So all depending on what is superior with-in the atom.
What do all of the polyatomic ions with the suffix -ate have in common?
Polyatomic ions ending in -ate in common form contain oxygen.
What does all atoms are nuetral mean?
Atoms are electrically neutral if they have an equal number of protons and electrons. Atoms that have either a deficit or a surplus of electrons are called ions.
