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.
The electron configuration for this atom is 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d64s2. There are 6 d electrons.
2 electrons = ferrous or iron(II) or Fe+23 electrons = ferric or iron(III) or Fe+3
The iron atom loses two(2) electrons to be come the Iron ION. Fe = Fe^(2+) + 2e^- NB An atom , when it becomes a charged spacied , is no longer an atom , but an ION. Positively charged ions are CATIONS Negatively charged ions are ANIONS.
Each iron atom loses three electrons.
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!!!!!!!
There are 5 unpaired electrons in Fe^3+ in its ground state.
5 unpaired electrons There are 5 unpaired electrons in the Fe3+ ion. The reason for this is that Iron has the electron configuration Ar3d5.

iron has unpaired electrons. the term 'lone pair' is not used for metals

Iron is a metal element. There are 26 electrons in a single atom.
due to the presence of unpaired electrons
