Iron has a atomic no. of 26 and carbon has an atomic no. of 12.
No. of electrons in any atom= Atomic no. of the element.
Therefore, we can say that iron has more no. of electrons.

Are lightning rod or plastic better metal lightning rods?
For a lightning conductor, we need an electrical conductor, so the iron would be superior.
Is carbon conductive to heat?
1st AnswerIt is a poor conductor. That is why you can walk barefoot on hot coals, but not on equally hot iron. 2nd AnswerHow well carbon conducts heat is entirely dependent on the form of the carbon. Carbon, in the form of powdered charcoal, is a poor heat conductor. Diamond is an excellent conductor of heat, and is much better than copper, which is the best conductor among elemental metals. Interestingly, graphene, another form of carbon, is even better than diamond, and can conduct heat five to ten times as easily as copper.
Why was pig iron brittle?
It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content. It is a poor material because it is very brittle. This is caused by its high carbon content.
Is Carbon Dioxide a conductor?
yes it is a conductor
Does iron conduct electricity better than better than steel?
Iron conducts electricity better than steel. Steel is considered a very poor conductor compared to most metals since it has a very low electron mobility.
Which is a better conductor of heat iron or alcohol?
Iron is good conductor
Is sulfur a better conductor than carbon?
No, carbon in the form of graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Sulfur is not an electrical conductor.
Which is a better conductor between alluvium and iron?
Iron would be a better conductor of electricity than would alluvium.
What makes a better conductor copper or iron?
Copper is better conductor than iron because copper has higher electron affinity of 1.22948 eV than iron which is 0.16299 eV.
Which of the following materials is likely to be the best conductor iron sulfur carbon tin?
Iron would be the best out of these.......
What is a better conductor of electricity gold or carbon?
Gold
Is iron and wood is a better thermal conductor to identify independent and dependent?
iron is a better thermal conductor but i do not know what you mean by identify independent or dependent variables. in an experiment? i am not sure.
Does sylicon conduct heat?
Yes. Iron has better conductivity of heat and electricity than water and will heat up very fast. The same goes with carbon and silicon. If u get a chance to test them then u will know which is better conductor ( silicon should be better conductor since it is a metalloid)
Is iron and wood is a better thermal conductor to identify independent and dependent variables?
iron is a better thermal conductor but i do not know what you mean by identify independent or dependent variables. in an experiment? i am not sure.
Is iron a poor conductor of electricity?
since iron is a metal and most metals are good conductors of electricity one can assume that iron is a fair conductor of electricity. The electrical conductivity of iron is approx. 1/6 from the electrical conductivity of silver (the best known conductor).
Why is most wires made from copper not iron?
Copper is a much better electrical conductor than iron.
What it meant by good conductor?
.Something that carries something better than average. For example, copper is a good conductor of electricity. Iron is a good conductor of heat.
