26 protons, 26 electrons in iron. Fe-56, the most stable isotope of iron, has 30 neutrons
Iron-56 has 26 protons, 30 neutrons, and 26 electrons.
An atom of iron has 26 protons. An atom of oxygen has 8 protons. The atoms are significantly different.
Number of protons + neutrons = mass number 26 protons + 31 neutrons 57
In a neutral atom of iron, there are 26 electrons. This is because iron has 26 protons in its nucleus, and in a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
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.
Iron-56 or 56Fe 56 protons makes it iron. If you add the protons and neutrons, you find the mass, which is 56.
(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
The number of protons, neutrons ad electrons is different.
Iron has 26 protons, and since protons and electrons are usually the same there are 26 electrons in Iron. There is 30 neutrons. So protons=26, electrons=26, neutrons=30.
In a neutral iron (Fe) atom, the number of protons is 26, which is the atomic number of iron. The number of neutrons can vary, but the most common isotope of iron, Fe-56, has 30 neutrons. Since the atom is neutral, it will have an equal number of electrons as the number of protons, so it also has 26 electrons.
The particle you are describing is an atom of iron. The number of protons in an atom determines its atomic number, which is 26 for iron. The sum of protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass number, which is 56 for this iron atom.
Iron-56 has 26 protons, 30 neutrons, and 26 electrons.
26 It has 26 protons, 26 electrons and (mostly) 30 neutrons, but 28, 31 and 32 neutrons are natural isotopes of iron as well (though less than 10%).
An atom of iron has 26 protons. An atom of oxygen has 8 protons. The atoms are significantly different.
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.
The atomic number of iron is 26 whereas the mass number of it is 56. Therefore it has 26 electrons and 30 neutrons (56-26).
Number of protons + neutrons = mass number 26 protons + 31 neutrons 57
