How many electrons does iron atom have?
A neutral iron atom has 26 electrons. All iron atoms have 26 protons in their nuclei, which is why their atomic atomic number is 26. Protons have a positive charge, while electrons have a negative charge, so a neutral iron atom has 26 protons and 26 electrons.
How many d electrons does Hg have?
Mercury (the neutral atom) has 8o electrons.
How many electrons does iron need to have a full outer shell?
Iron has an electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d6 4s2. Both outer shells (3 and 4 are incomplete - this is typical for the transition metals, and explained by the aufbau principle. In theory you would need an additional 4 electrons to fill the 3d shell (making it d10), and additionally 6 p electrons, 10 d electrons and 14 f electrons to fill the 4th What happens in practise is the iron has common oxidation states of 2 (losing the 4s2 electrons) and 3 (additionally losing one d electron).
What part of an atom forms a chemical bond?
The electrons (especially the valence electrons)
How many electrons can the outer level of an atom hold?
an atom has different energy orbitals: s, p, d, and f. each orbital can hold two electrons. the outside energy or highest energy levels of electrons is called the valence shell or valence electrons. for an atom to be stable it wants the electron configuration for the valence shell to be "s2, p6." to answer your question the outer level of an atom can hold 8 electrons. it is called the valence shell.

How many d electrons does Hg have?
Mercury (the neutral atom) has 8o electrons.
What is the difference between iron atom and a sodium atom?
No difference. Invoking "element" simply refers to chemcial properties, and these are present in the atom as well.
How many unpaired electrons are there in the iron atom?
That would be 0. The ground state of every element except for Hydrogen is 1s2 which has no unpaired electrons. (only valence electrons have the ability to be unpaired). Full configuation of Fe would be: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d6 WWWWWWWWWRRRRRRROOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!!!!

Which of the has an electric charge?
(a) a sodium atom with 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons (b) a calcium atom with 20 protons, 18 electrons, and 20 neutrons (c) a helium atom with 2 protons, 2 electrons, and 2 neutrons (d) an iron atom with 26 protons, 26 electrons, and 30 neutrons
How many electrons neutrons and protons are in an an atom of Cr?
Chromium is in the d block. It contains 24 protons.
What where electrons are found in an atom?
around or outside the nucleus :D
What part of an atom forms a chemical bond?
The electrons (especially the valence electrons)
How many unpaired electrons the atom Y has?
An atom of yttrium (Y) has an electron configuration of 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,4s2,3d1, so it has one unpaired electron in the 'd' orbital.
How many unpaired electrons in (d) subshell in ferric Fe3?
5 unpaired electrons There are 5 unpaired electrons in the Fe3+ ion. The reason for this is that Iron has the electron configuration Ar3d5.
