Why is aliminium better than iron for airplanes?
Aluminium is way lighter than iron, and therefore the plane can get off the ground.
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.
What are aliminium and iron extracted from?
Aluminium is mainly extracted from Bauxite, which is Aluminium oxide(Al2O3). Iron is mainly extracted from Hematite, which is Iron(III) oxide(Fe2O3). Some other minerals of Iron are Pyrite(FeS2) and Magnetite(Fe3O4).
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.
How many protons are in each atom of iron?
There are 26 protons in the atom of iron.
Is fe an atom?
They are elements not compound mixture
How many types of atom are there in a piece of iron?
If its just iron then there is only one type of atom: iron atoms
What atom had 26 protons 26 electrons and 30 neutrons?
Iron-56 or 56Fe 56 protons makes it iron. If you add the protons and neutrons, you find the mass, which is 56.
Is an atom of iron the same the same as atom of oxygen?
An atom of iron has 26 protons. An atom of oxygen has 8 protons. The atoms are significantly different.
What kind of atom can be found in iron?
Iron.
What is the difference between iron and an atom of iron?
NOTHING! An atom is just another name for an element!!
When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust each iron atom.?
In that reaction, each iron atom loses three electrons.
