Best Answer

From the Periodic Table, the atomic number of iron (Fe) is 26. This means that iron atoms have 26 protons in their nuclei. Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an isotope of an element. So, for your example of 31 neutrons, the sum of the number of protons (26) and neutrons (31) is 57. So the mass number of this iron atom is 57.

Will an atom with 27 protons 32 neutrons and 27 electrons be electrically neutral?

Neutrons have no charge. When the number of protons of an atom is equal to the number of electrons in it, the atom is neutral, in other words, it has no charge.


Is an atom that has the same number of protons as neutrons a neutral atom?

False. The atom that has the same number of protons as it has electrons is a neutral atom.
